Hi, got a little problem. Trying to do Ls vtec with my GSR head, and the plug near the distibutor for the oil line is stuck. Its an 8mm hex, and i have hex keys as well as sockets, and I put alot of leverage on it and it began to chew up the plug. I can still fit a hex key in it so its not that bad, but what the hell do I do to get this thing out? The head was recently cleaned and refinshed by a shop, does this have anything to do with it? Can i apply heat to it with a torch? i know its aluminum and I dont wanna screw it up... I can try an impact gun on low setting, by again im afraid to without asking first...

any help out there please!

 

those suckers are on there pretty tight; use a torch to heat it up and impact it out

 

im worried about the aluminum... how much heat? anyone else got good ideas?

 

yeah what he said said just heat it up a little and it will come loose

 

I used a 3/8" socket that has the 8mm allen.
