  9/11 Listers: Several days back (while on vacation) there were several

in the head.  I am undertaking a full rebuild and upgrading of my motor 
and would like to know how you guys remove these plugs before I do 
something I might regret!  Any help would be appreciated! Dan C


"The Book" shows the full oiling system schematic. The TRF parts book 
shows all the plugs - they're pretty easy to find.

That said, there are various plugs in the block. Some are pipe thread 
little plugs at least two are plugs that are threaded into the block and 
then peened over (or cut flush) and one (in the back of the block) uses a 
machine thread - it's pretty much a set screw.

But a good machine shop should "know what to do".
