Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What size plug and drill size to fix cracked blocks

[dieselworld]

I have a crack in the side of the block that is barely leaking. Since the ends of the crack must be drilled and a plug taped in, what is the plug size and how far must you drill into the block?

One place to look is www.irontite.com they have a process for repairing cracked head and blocks.
