Pressure port on 24 valve

[Michael Hughes]

No, I am talking about the plug in the intake pressure port.

Mike, take that rig for a ride around town and let everything warm up, then try to remove the plug and it should come right out. Mine came out almost too easily using this method.

H E L P ... .....

I am trying to get the 3/4 pipe plug out of the pressure port on my 24 valve engine. I am using a 1/2 drive and extension, but I can't seem to get it to brake loose #ad
. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Glad to hear that worked for you. Not my idea, I learned it from here before I removed mine. I was all set with a 1/2" breaker bar, etc. , placed the 1/2 drive in the boost plug and spun her out with two fingers worth of pressure. Can't beat the TDR for the wealth of experience, best $35. 00 bucks I ever spent #ad

Are you talking about the plugs for the coolant? Maybe try warming the engine up first.

Tried that myself, but to no avail. I twisted off the end of a 1/2 inch drive extension trying to break mine loose. I drilled and tapped the intake manifold tonight to get my boost readings.

You guys are making me nervous. I am planning on installing my gauges today. Since it's warmer here in Ohio than it has been for a while. I have a Snap-on 1/2" pipe plug socket that is designed for removing square pipe plugs. It is tapered slightly and doesn't have the locking ball like a 1/2" extention does, which makes the socket stonger. I figure with my 24" Snap-on breaker bar and the special socket, it will come out one way or another !!!

Good job Morphious, the intake manifold (runner) is a better boost source location anyway.

Gauge installation was sucessful. The 3/4 pipe plug in the intake came out easy. Probably had 20-25 ft/lbs torque.
