Part Number / Supersession Notes

Royal Enfield illustrated parts books commonly show the base number RLQ00046. Current genuine-parts databases list multiple revisions including RLQ00046/A, /B, /C and /E, all carrying the same basic textured-black crankshaft-hole-plug description.

This listing uses RLQ00046/E as the current documented revision. Do not claim that every earlier suffix is automatically interchangeable unless the current Royal Enfield EPC, authorised supersession data or genuine packet confirms it for the motorcycle.

When Should This Be Replaced?

• Plug head is damaged or rounded.
• Plug is cracked, badly scratched or corroded.
• Plug is missing.
• Oil seepage is present around the plug and inspection confirms the plug and/or O-ring requires replacement.
• Engine-cover restoration requires the correct factory-finish component.

Recommended Related Parts to Check

• LH / magneto engine cover around the plug seat.
• Thread condition in the engine cover.
• Magneto-cover gasket if the cover itself is being removed.

1 × Genuine Royal Enfield RLQ00046/E Crankshaft Hole Plug – Textured Black

The O-ring is not claimed as included unless physically supplied in the genuine packet.

Installation Notes

1. Confirm the exact part number/suffix against the VIN/EPC or removed plug.
2. Inspect the crankshaft-hole plug O-ring before refitting.
3. Clean the mating surface and threads.
4. Use the correct tool to avoid damaging the plug head.
5. Tighten only to the applicable Royal Enfield workshop specification; do not overtighten.

Return-Prevention Note / Before You Buy

1. Match the complete current SKU RLQ00046/E or confirm your packet/EPC revision.
2. Confirm that you need the Textured Black plug, not the buffed/polished RLQ00058 version.
3. Do not confuse this plug with the separate 575012 O-ring.
4. Do not order only because another Royal Enfield engine uses a visually similar plug.

Correctly supplied spare parts are not returnable or exchangeable because of incorrect selection, mechanic recommendation, fitment mismatch or change of mind. Orders cannot be cancelled once placed. Eligible wrong-item or damaged-item claims require applicable proof and a complete unboxing video under store policy.

Competitor Gap Analysis

Typical listings stop at the factory wording and fail to explain the J-Series model coverage, textured-black versus polished plug difference, separate O-ring, or suffix revisions. This listing resolves those buyer errors without adding unsupported models merely for SEO.
