Can't beat this for the price as it includes the plug and gasket. There's a very slight difference in the contour of one side compared to my original, but it's only cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality.

good value

Some material left over from the casting inside and on the hose connections was easy enough to remove with a file and air grinder, worth the time to make this part nice vs. buying a fancy one for 10 times the price.
