I have an ECI motor with their cold air sump along with Vetterman's 4 pipe exhaust and am getting interference with the exhaust pipe for cylinder 3 against the right side oil drain plug. I ground down the plug a ways and can get 1/16 clearance, but I don't think that's enough. See photos below.
Clint confirmed my thought that maybe I should go with a flush mount plug. My worry is that I then could not safety wire it. I've been doing a lot of digging and can't find allen socket plugs at Spruce or Wicks. Nor do I see them mentioned on VAF.
Would this be a safe option if using Loctite to secure the plug?
Thanks,
Russ
