What size plug?

Ok forgive me if I overlooked this in the FAQ's. What size does the oil feed hole for the balance shafts usually get tapped out to when you plug it?

I found it man. The idea is to cut the head and threads off of a 2" long 1/4" bolt apply some red threadlock to the leftover unthreaded piece, tap it in place, then stake the block around the oil hole so it can't come back out. A short bolt and washer then goes in the adjacent balance shaft bolt hole so that the washer overlaps the plug and makes it impossible for it to come out.
I've already got the balance shafts out. Nothing left but to break the chain and plug the hole, so I'll probably have that much done by the time you get down here. Hopefully I'll have the bearings taken care of too with nothing left but to torque the bolts when you get here with the torque wrench and put the pan back on. Hopefully that'll leave us some time to fool with the intercooler plumbing.:)
