Default square head plug

If all else fails you can put a "T" fitting in the exixting oil line. The suggestion to use some heat is a good one. Paint is cheap, removing the intake so you can repair stripped/gouged threads is a bitch.

I couldn't find 4-point sockets anywhere so far so I got hold of the phone number for the local Snap-on tool guy. I'll meet him in a few days on his route so I can get the socket from him. He checked and has them in stock on his truck.
Unless I can find on when at at Carlisle on Sat............

If the plug doesn't come out without too much trouble i'll just leave it be. I'm not about to force it and risk breaking it off.

I see you are from Mt. Holly! I grew up in NJ very close to you - on a farm in Pemberton and my wife is from Delran.
