WTF!! Header primary blocking oil plug
I've had dynatecs on the car for a few years now but only put about 1500 miles on it since, I just went to change the oil after break in of the new motor and realized that one of the primary tubes almost hits the oil plug not allowing me to drain the oil....does anyone have any tricks besides loosening the header or pulling the oil out with a manual pump???

If you are able to get it out at all you can take a piece of cardboard to keep the oil from splashing onto your headers. I cant think of any thing at the moment to help you out on getting the plug out besides loosening the bolts like you said, but after you do get the plug bolt out you can take it and grind the length of the bolt down a small amount that way you don't have to back it out so far to remove it.
Good luck with it and let me know how you did it cause I'm about to install a set of LT's.

i already had the coilpacks off and it took about an hour and a half....its alot easier with the packs off..the pass side has one bolt in the back that sucks..the driver header should go through the top and the pass has to go from bottom well i know dynatecs do
