who has problems screwing in the oil fill? its plastic, has coarse threads, buy I always seem to start it cross threaded. I haven't ruined it yet. Has anyone replaced it with a metal plug with maybe a magnet on it? I have searched but came up empty. I figured I would replace some parts while the Engine is out and getting rebuilt. Thanks guys!

I always start with reverse turning until you feel the male thread drop into the groove.THEN start your screwing in. :-)
It eliminates cross threading unless your threads are already damaged.
Happy screwing! :-)
