[V8] Engine Cleaning

[S_Matus]

I'll post the Plug  picture link over the weekend.

I used a 3" ABS fitting reducer to 1-1/2", inerted a short piece of 1-1/2 inch pipe and capped it.  All pieces glued of course.  I did turn the end on my wood lathe, but I think you could get by without the reduced diameter.
