The instructions say to double check the torque on your main caps… it’s been known to pull cranks right outta the car.
A customer came in to have one installed. I got the car into the air and noticed that there were already 4 of them under the car, but they were all stuck to the oil pan. If you miss the hole, you’ll never get it off, just get another plug and try again.
Word of caution, don’t even think about pointing it into the sky at passing planes. Friend of mine got a free trip to the Bahamas that way.
Nice thing about the plug, if you have another one you can just slide it under the car, upside down, and the opposing forces will lift the car for you. Don’t even need a jack.
I dropped a 10mm socket into the engine bay yesterday. Grabbed my handy dandy magnetic drain plug to get it out. It had no problem removing the entire engine so that I could get the socket out of the cradle.

And a warning label to attach to the bottom of the oil pan warning those mechanics with plates in their heads to be careful when working under the car they don’t become attached to the oil pan by the head when walking under the oil pan area 😂
Anyone who wants a plug please message me. I have 2 payments from 2 guys with no shipping address and no forum name and no response to an email I sent them from their PayPal email address. So if you paid for a plug and haven’t heard from me with a tracking number contact me. Ones in question needing shipping address are from First names Pat and Brian, please contact me.
