So my engine is all buttoned up and installed and im now building my turbo system.However the other day while reading the manual i glimpsed at the pages concerning the head and something brought upon some worry.When I disassembled my head I remember clearly that my rocker shafts do not have threaded end plugs as some m30's do...no problem.But.I also cant remember removing any form of plug whatsoever...in about 5 seconds of thought,it seems obvious that there needs to be something there since the shafts receive oil pressure right? maybe there was something missing before I even got into the motor that the PO was responsible for? All I know is that there is no form of plug on the ends of the rocker shafts and now im wondering if I need to tear into it again,only im not sure what is supposed to be there?

See attached pics. I do see end plugs on the shafts.
#2 and # 8. The list parts list calls them "plug" and "screw plug" respectively.

This might help? It is from the Factory Manual:
