LLoyd,

This does not sound too good.  From your vague discription, it sounds like
you lost the plug which retains the oil pressure relief valve assembly.  So,
if you are missing the plug, you are also missing the rest of the parts which
make up the relief valve.  Which means you are misssing that other nicety . .
. lubrication.
