lifter gally oil plugs

[Zacks 85GN]

I had the holes drilled and tapped at the front of the block. Last night in looking at the holes it appears that the plug will restrict oil flow to the engine if installed. Do you just grind the back off the plugs?

Thanks,

Yup. Either grind them or call TA Performance. They sell special "shallow" plugs. Either way, do not use the regular "deep" plugs.

PLUGS?????

Zack, I tried to find out the exact same thing. I must have emailed 8-10 different people of the Buick world and got back about 2 responses. No one seems to either know where to buy or what to use to make them.
I checked TA and they did not show in their catalog.
What are you going to use? Thanks
