Yeah it's long so I put it in the oil drain hole in the bottom and hit it. Which cause it to pivot, then I stuck the punch down through the top and through the bearing and it popped right out

Should I get the Hughes plenum repair kit or is there a better option? http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/p...p?partid=27091

There is someone selling basically the same aluminum plate on ebay if you want to save a few bucks. Make sure you use fel pro gaskets.

Or, you could get shorter bolts, (or even just washers.....) and a GOOD quality gasket, and just put a new gasket in it. The aluminum plate is *better*, but, isn't absolutely required.
