    Something so simple, and the same mistake keeps happening over and over again.
    Was this the same block I read about somewhere that had to have the crank reluctor changed from 24x to 58x?

    In a G8 you need TypeA if your new cam has one large centre bolt at the front, or TypeB if your new cam has 3 small bolts at the front.

    So who here has pulled this valve and replaced it with a plug? Do you know what thread it is?

    The VE & G8-GT relief valves are slightly different and not on the floor of the oilpan like in that pic above.
    Yours sit up on a pedestal and the valve has a more rounded exterior appearance.

    Give me half a day and I'll grab one, photograph & measure the threads.

    Uggh I struck out.
    A friend had 2x V8 oilpans each with the relief valves the last time I was there. Just went back and 1 is now fitted to an engine and he can't find the other one.
    There's none of the relief valves (GM#12608835) in stock locally for me to borrow and measure.
