Default Head oil galley hex plugs

I recently media blasted my GSR head. In an attempt to clean it thouroughly I needed to remove all oil galley plugs. There are 3 small brass hex plugs that were a bitch to get out. They must have been loctited from the factory as I had to drill all 3 out. So now I need to replace them. Unfortunately its not an OEM replaceable part. Does anybody know where I can get these and what size they are?

I have one sitting here I was going to toss in the garbage, well I believe its the same size. I also have two spare blocks in the shop for mock up that I could always pull them off of.

Well if you can remove the plugs without destroying them I'll be happy to buy them. However I dont think its easy, all mine stripped. Plus without them your heads will be worthless.

Its def smaller than 1/4" NPT. maybe 1/8" but more likely a metric size. Anybody know?

why dont you just drill and tap it for the closest npt size, and get the npt plug to fit it?

That would be the easiest solution. I would still recommend going to a place like Fastenal, or whatever fastener place is around you. They can usually find any threaded part, or even make it to order.

I just retapped the three for NPT plugs. You'll need two 1/8" NPT plugs and one 3/8" NPT plug.

I already took one of near the vtec area, thats all I remember. Came out easy with the right tool, and the heads are just "mock" up heads

I had to remove mine cause it was leaking, it was a bitch. I took them out of a spare head with heating them up.
