   What thread are the oil gallery plugs on a 16v J4 head?
   
   I have been told they are 1/8 NPT, is this correct?
   
   Looking to run my oil pressure gauge sensor off one.

   Well tbh we did already have Simon (and Simo) but they're both fucking useless as we all know... They needed a REAL man so they asked about.
   
   When they couldn't find one, I got an invite...
