Would you ever make this plug with a bolt on top for easier applications? I feel like if the plug ever siezed the square fitting would strip like our OEM ones.

That is the way they are now (hex head)

Oh yes. I'm aware that they don't need to be too tight. I don't over tighten mine, however with taking it off it seems to get stuck from the build up in the coolant system. I guess that's what causes it to get stuck?

Someone welded a 15mm nut onto my existing cap and the last two coolant flushes it was easy to take off. But it broke at the welds this last time and I was not able to burp the system due to the fitting being rounded out. So now I have to basically ruin the plug to get it off.

Just liked the control I had when removing it with the nut.

Was just looking at a thread a couple of days ago where a guy made him one on a lathe out of hex stock and left the top hex for a wrench. Made it because you can not buy or find them anymore like half the parts you want from Ford. I always put grease on the threads when I put it back in. Good deal for $20 and stainless.

For those having a hard time getting them out: heat them just a little with a propane torch and they are easy.

What could you guys do on one of your windage trays shipped to 38469? I just picked up some pistons & rings from Y'all last month. Also is there any benefits on the mmr tray compared to the canton tray. Please pm me price & info. Thanks

$154.99 shipped, the mmr tray is better because it has a built in gasket on both sides, scrapes oil better because it is closer to the crank and is 1/4 the weight.

+1 for a hex head. It's not the application torque that makes them such a pain to remove, it's the heat cycling and corrosion/gunk buildup. A SS plug might not corrode, but the rest of the system will, including the threads. I drilled half of my old one out after breaking almost every extractor tool and still couldn't remove the pieces. I ended up buying a new crossover section. If you thought the factory plug was tough to remove, imagine how fun it was to remove an entire 3/8" plug with the same square head.

I just went to the hardware store to pickup a 3/8" NPT plug with a large hex head should I need to do it again. It seals but the gasket would be nice. Given this is for the non-factory S/C crossover.

Like this:

If MMR made the same plug with the hex head it would be great, but $20 seems a little steep for hardware IMO. Granted it is SS, but a standard brass piece with a gasket and hex head for even $10 would be perfect.

Point taken, however for me the cost wouldn't negate the fact that if I had to destroy the plug to get it off and ruin the crossover tube then it would now be a more costly expense. The higher price justifies the insurance of ruining a good crossover tube.

bump for a good product
