Putting heads from full flow block on partial flow block. Now I must remove the pipe plug from the oil port to the filter.
I built a dam around it of Permatex Red and let it soak in Liquid Wrench for a week. Applied heat but cautious about too much localized heat for fear of irreparable damage. Got a square 1/4" pipe plug socket in hopes of applying torque evenly to the plug faces.... plug socket measures .252 and plug face measures .283 so no go. 7mm spanner fits perfect but only two faces and you don't get a lot of leverage from a 3" wrench. I don't want to drill it out and risk filings into the oil passage.
I'm listening for the brilliance of this board to tell me how to remove it.
