Tried taking it off when it was hot and then when it cooled down. Thinking taking it out and using a vise is the only way lol I didn't even tighten the damn thing that tight and used some oil around the o-ring.

well i actually melted 3 pistons on my stock one due to detonation (tuner fault) so i said what the heck might as well go big and i couldnt think of a better way to go big than by using one of the best engines gm has ever produced the almighty 427 ls7 and h/c/ that biatch.
