Hi Guys,
Anyone out there with a Lycoming 0-235.
On the back of the engine there are two “plugs” that fill the oil cooler inlet and outlet. These screw in with a pretty big Allen wrench. Does anyone know what size Allen wrench this is? Everything I have is either too big or too small. I have tried standard and metric.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve,
Not trying to be a smartass but have you tried measuring it? If it is in a location that is hard to reach, press some modeling clay into the the hex and pull it out to measure the clay impression.

They should be 3/8".If the 3/8" does not fit - for being too small it is because of the PAINT. Use an X-Acto knife chisel blade to scrape the paint out. Also scrape around the plug / accessory case and spray with penetrating fluid. Get a 1/2" black pipe to use as a breaker bar.
Since you are installing an oil cooler... Take the time to research the PROPER hose and fitting size. Many an engine out there use a reducer on the accessory case and therefore a smaller oil hose. Use the hose fitting that will go directly into the case. It will give you better oil flow, no restriction and slightly more quantity Also go with TEFLON hoses. They are approved for life. The other stuff has a shelf-life and a service-life.
On the fitting size... I think it is an ANxxx -6
