I'm going to be facing that 'what to do?' question soon on the inline 4
Digifant2 engine that I'll be installing in my '90.  I would like to
find a plug that can be inserted and will stay put.  Maybe we can find
the plug that VW used?  I might tap the hole and screw in a hex bolt
with a copper washer.  I havn't decided.
