Will heat damage the valley pan gasket?Weld a nut onto the plug and it will turn right out.

Thanks. I see pictures of the sending unit attached to a tee. What is that for? Do I need that or can I just go with the sender?If it doesn't leak can you install pressure sender on passenger side? That way you could wait for a better time to remove plug.
No, you are far enough away from it. Only takes a couple of zaps with a mig welder. Or do what Fran suggested and use the other port for now.Will heat damage the valley pan gasket?
It’s a Allen wrench plug. I see what you are saying, but perhaps they put that plug in when I had the motor rebuilt. Although I wouldn’t expect it to be that tough to get out. Is there any other place the sender can go?Can't see why there'd be a plug in that side. You sure it's not just a snapped off stem from the original sender??.. and if so it's got a restricted hole in it, just like the one in the bag, that's gonna make a huge mess when you fire that engine up!
Thanks
Drive a tight fitting torx socket into it. Drive it deep and hold down hard when trying to turn it out. I just did this on my Kubota tractor as a last ditch effort and it worked.It’s a Allen wrench plug. I see what you are saying, but perhaps they put that plug in when I had the motor rebuilt.
