Can anyone tell me whether or not a 1986 X2 was manufactured with a drain valve in the crankcase?
If so, is it a good idea to block it off? Why?

Tehy eventually leak because the rubber stopper fails to maintain pliability and shape, and if you used it enough, it will leak over time. That causes an air leak into the case, detonating the motor.
I believe they all had them, yes.SBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

I was trying to find the drain valve so that I could inspect it, but I did 'easily' see it. I was told it's under the exhaust manifold. Is it on the very bottom of the motor? If so, then the only way to get to it is to remove the motor?
It's a 1986 X2.
