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.
