Yeah I was worried as well. The oil passage doesn’t seemed to be blocked. I’m going to pull it out.

There is a "stop" there but it is really just the end of the machined area into the cast section of the main oil passage that runs all the way to the back of the engine. The plug wont block flow although the bevel of the plug is in the area of the feed to the head. I've set plugs against the stop without issues (the photo exaggerates it) but as I mentioned, there is a standard to set it to.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I noticed a lip that the plug would stop at. I found a schematic from Ford verifying that the passenger side head feed is the only feed directly behind the plug. I can visually see down the hole and I barely see the backside of the plug. The passage is free and clear. Although it may be deeper than intended I believe I’m going to leave it.

It's actually for the rear block elements, Ill ask the gentleman if he has it for the front.

This is good tech, you should put it in its own dedicated thread that way other members can find it easily. There are more and more people putting their own engines together, this info will be beneficial.

There is a lip and a conical squish in that oil plug port on a gen3 head, that I know for sure. I had to seat mine

Thank you sir. Ill install the coils tomorrow to see if it starts easier, idles smoother etc. Currently running RR10s plugs gapped at .018, id like to open the gap up a touch.

The plugs are different for the Predator coils versus late gen2. Anyone have any tips for depinning the COP plugs?

If you need the pigtail as pictured part number is ku2z-14s411-ba , old style connector pigtail part number would be 9u2z-14s411-ea .

That green cap comes off with a pick tool, small screwdriver. On my car they were blue. Once that cap is off, the pick tool should be able to remove the pin. I am betting you know this tho.
