I was considering the stainless feed from the filter housing. Hmm, maybe I could tap the threads, crank the engine over and lets some oil flow through there removing all the chips. then put the line back on. I hoping there is a enough good thread that I can just re-tap it. But odds are against me... Hmm, maybe I could helicoil it!! I've never done that... Oh well I know people who have! I figure, I might as well try this shit before I take the head off. Thanks JET for the help!
