Do u mean wading plugs?
If so the idea is to stop the ingress of water entering the hole and into clutch bell housing or timing case and contaminating the clutch or timing belt.
The hole is there to give an indication and allow any oil to flow out in the event of a oil seal failure, oil is not not good for clutch or belt.
So make up your own mind..
If you do not have a clutch or a timing belt you don't require plugs.

If you get that kit make sure the timing cover is fitted the right way round. Thier not marked and should have the lip in the centre facing out. I fitted mine the wrong way,being in a rush. It warped the plate and fouled the centre nut,making it not run right. I went for a plate where its drilled off centre in the end.
