under the head plug? HELP!!
03/27/10 at 19:31:39

ok so i took my head cover off to do the head cap replacement and there is no rubber plug there! there is a metal recces where the plug was supposed to be it is deep enough for the plug to fit in but that just doesnt make much sense to me to put a plug in a place just to fill a hole that appears to already be sealed. I am confused. there is no rubber plug in there anywhere. help please!!!
