Its the "blank plug" for the oil gallery - if you take it off, all you'll get is a facefull of 10/40w
Always fit a pressure gauge on the end

Pigford, you could be slightly mis-informing our friend, by ... "Always fit a pressure gauge on the end". It should be explained that, you don't have to fit a gauge on the end! However, if you want to to test the oil pressure you may use this point to connect. Also, some guys use this point as one of the points to connect to an oil-cooler. Agree that you could get a face full of oil!
