I got the wrong plug for my black box and it was a cam seal instead of a block off plug even though the ebay seller said it was a block off plug. Long story short the cam seal got stuck and I am wondering if the seal will just get pressurized and pop out when started or stay their forever ! Also the seal is not magnetic already tried that!

Post a picture, is it wedged in there or did it "fall" in there

 

if you cant get hold of it you will have to drop the oilpan to poke it out from inside
or you could try to pressureise with an air line the motor through the vac port on the valve cover to push it out if it just sitting in the hole

 

You have me worried. I just ordered one from Ebay. Which seller was he?

 

if it is "wedged" in there, you can use a gear puller to get it out. if it fell in, just drop the pan. either way not too hard.

 

ok thanks for all the replies I am going to try air gun blower first and then drop the oil pan if that doesn't work too.

 

it is wedged in their but still has some wiggle room

 

it was this ebay seller performance-parts2008

 

what is a gear puller and how would I use that to pull it out?

 

heres my .02... thats what you get for ordering ebay.... just saying.

 

Can you post a pic of what it looks like a cam seal and a freeze plug look different

 

This is the most retarded thing I have seen posted in a long while on this site. I order many things from Ebay, and if the wrong part shows up, then call the seller, they will more than likely get you the right part. If not, report it to Paypal/Credit card company. You will have your money back right away. As for getting it out, if it will take some pressure, try to drill a hole and pull it with a hanger, or drop the pan and pop it out with a finger.

 

If it had room to get in, it has room to come out

 

You can try gluing a stick to it or duct tape to pull it out.

 

Thanks everyone hopefully I get it out soon.

 

If its rubber run a drywall screw in it and pull it out with pliers.

 

they make seal pullers, advance auto sell them
