    Can’t figure out what goes in the hole on the right. The hole on the left I believe is the coolant drain. 97 3rz passenger sideIMG_5314.jpg

    Here is a better pic with descriptions. The coolant drain hole is way smaller than the hole in question I believe. The hole with the black plug is where I’ll be using oil pressure gauge and building correct pressure before installing oil pressure sensor. The hole with the m12-1.25 thread size I’m not sure about.

    I have the factory service manual, but it’s damn near as helpful as the Haynes. I wish it had one diagram of all sensor locations visible.
