Oil galley plug - b230

Hey, folks. I'm still assembling my rebuilt b230ft.

I removed the front oil galley plug to clean the passages (The machine shop painted the block trying to be nice, but neglected to mask off ... any holes except the deck).

There is a mangled thread halfway up the plug. I don't think it's supposed to be mangled, and I feel like I should replace it. Does anyone know what size it is? I only have 2 threads on each end, so it's a little hard to be sure. Seems like it's an 8mm or 10mm threaded shaft about 10mm long with a large allen/hex socket in it.

Hope everyone manages a halfway decent and safe thanks giving this year.
