We have a new small but useful product for you engine builders!
Reusable Front Oil Galley Plug
Unlike the factory plug, this Billet Front Oil Galley Plug uses a O ring to create the seal and is reusable. It is also easy to remove and install unlike the factory plug. 1/4-20 threaded hole that you can use for easy removal. This Billet plug is great for the racers that tear their engines down for inspections.
Fits GM Gen III & IV LS Engines LS1-2-3-6-LQ4-LQ9-4.8L-5.3L-6.0L-6.2L & More!

I love this. I knock out the press-in freeze plug style plug on every build I do, to clean the main gallery. I’ll buy this to ensure a total leak proof setup, with high pressure pumps. O-ring will always seal better than the press in plug.
It would be easier to remove I feel, if you threaded a hole in the center of it, like your barbell you sell.

I want to give a shout out to Shawn at Water Thunder for being a major player on the little project! Thanks Shawn!
Thank you
Christian

We were threading the first prototypes but found it wasn't necessary and just added to the cost. The reason the threads aren't necessary is because the oil pressure pushes the plug against the timing cover leaving about a .020" gap between the block and the flange on the plug so you can get a little screw driver in and pop it out easily.

I’d pay a few dollars extra as well for the threaded hole.

Totally agree with this. It would pop out pretty easily after fresh install, but I have to wonder if after a season is on the engine with many heat cycles, would it pop out easily, or would the oring try to stick.

They would be a little difficult to hold and drill and tap with out marring them all up.
But because we like to listen to all your input on what you would like to see in our products we will be tapping them from now on.
Thanks for the input!

After you remove your SacCityCorvette bar bell from the back of the block (using the threads that are already there), just stick a LONG rod through the oil gallery and push it out like you would the factory cup plug.

That’s how I knock out the Oem plugs. It’s not impossible, but sometimes hard to do on the stand. These trick new parts are spoiling us.

Don't get me wrong, I'd buy one in a heartbeat, with or without a threaded hole, if my engine wasn't already installed in my car.
If for any reason my engine comes out and I'm taking the covers off, one of these WILL be going back in.
