These brass Hex plugs are about twice as long as they need to be ... I got them from McMaster-Carr .... I have seen some that when tight are flush or close to Flush .... Suggestions ?

I used polished S.S. plugs available at most plumbing wholesale outlets. I also bought the pipe thread taps to redo the holes in the intake manifold. You have to be careful with the aluminum, and if you run the taps to deep its harder to get them to seal but the result was the plugs are now flush.

Buy a 1/2" pipe tread tap and make them exactly as you want. Every other method is a guess and a waste of time. You can use a 12 pt socket and ratchet and skip the cost of a t-handle.
