B230 cylinder head question, also 'zero mile' service 200 1991

Hi all...two quick questions.

Does the b230 engine have a plug on the back of the cylinder head? I have pulled the valve cover to change the gasket, and I don't have a mirror to see the back side of the cylinder head. No plug is readily apparent when viewing from the top with the valve cover off. Bentley manual makes no mention of a plug for the b230. I know there was a semi-circular rubber plug on my b21f.

I have a black hard plastic or hard rubber plug, circular, about 1.5" in diameter in a box of parts I ordered from FCP Groton. The order was placed some time ago and I no longer have the invoice. All the other parts are self-explanatory. Was thinking this particular part might be a cylinder head plug.

Also, does anyone have a link to the post containing all that should be replaced or checked as part of the "zero mile" service? Some of the regulars should know what I'm talking about. I tried the search function but it did not yield the post I was looking for, which appeared on this site maybe 2-3 months ago.

Many thanks for help, as always.

Greg
