Chrysler 5.2L engine. Non-threaded hole in the rear of the crank

Chrysler 5.2L engine. There is a non-threaded hole on the left side of the oil pan just after the last freeze plug. It appears that it opens into the crankcase area of the engine. Do you know what this is for?

    If the engine is running well and you don't have anything leaking from that hole, it may be an "abandoned" mount for an item you don't have on your vehicle. If everything else is working, just leave it alone.

Where s the crank sensor on a 2006 Chrysler 300c hemi?

hi Ed.

The crankshaft position sensor is located at the right rear side of the engine cylinder block above the oil pan rail. It is positioned and bolted into a machine hole in the engine block.

Crank sensor or computer

which engine.? 1.6L or 1.8L
radial differences, 1.8L is DOHC newer engine. became 2.0L later,
try some comma's please.

ILL take a wild guess, you have the G16b ENGINE.
And is OBD2 car, USA, and as such has the new CKP crank sensor
and you bought a non suzuk gasket set, that came with a non suzuki
pan gasket, i guess you didnt notice the car HAS NO PAN gasket
and if you add one, it makes the CPK sensor too FAR from the tone wheel on the cranks, seen 100s like this fail all for using a gasket
if you look close, the CKP is too far from the tone wheel.
and will fail. next time ask how to fix a G16b first.

1.8 liter has a structural aluminum oil pan, totally differ.

the pan must be put on with RTV, just as the FSM shows.

What's the easiest way to re-tighten the drain pug after it's been open- it just keeps turning

I assume you are turning the oil plug clockwise? If you have already fully seated the plug (all the way in), and it is still turning, you have either cross threaded and have stripped the plug threads or oil pan threads.
Take the plug back out and look at the both the plug threads and oil pan threads. Are there shiney small metal shavings or new thread markings? If so you will may need to remove the oil pan and those metal shavings, as those shavings could be detrimental to your engine/parts. You could possibly without removing the oil pan, use a small magnet-inserted into the hole, along with a flashlight and small mirror to check your progress, and retract the shavings out of the pan; but there is a chance of missing some.
Unfortunately, you may have to replace the plug (which I would try first $$ wise) and see if that works. If not attempt to tap the pan hole and try the new plug. If not then you are looking at either tapping out the pan hole to a bigger size and buying a bigger plug OR repacing the oil pan. Someone may have over tightened the plug causing this. It is only suppose to be tightened 15-20 ft lbs.
Let me know if this worked, or if you have additional information of questions. Feel free to contact me on FixYa.com!
