Default crate engine question

I am about to install new crate engine. The oil pressure sending unit would screw in just above the filter correct. my new engine has a plugged hole at the same spot but the plug is very tight and before I put alot of pressure on it to remove just checking it I am right. I don't know why it is so tight since they ran the engine for breaking breakin may be it was hot when they screwed it in and it setup a little.
