    take the head apart, take the solenoid housing off, open the oil plugs. then using a tap and die set tap the hole . go through and blow out all shavings. then insert a aluminum plug with very little sealeant make sure its a little below the surface or have the head milled

    The kit comes with the plug and tap to do it.

    Get the GE LSV Kit, it has everything you need to tap the head.

    Then you don't have the complete kit. It should have the plug with it.

    There are plenty of write-ups on the internet, with pictures to boot, that show you step-by-step how to do it. But if you have some doubt, just get a shop 2 do it. Ls/V isn't a smash and grab setup like people think it is. Your gunna get out of it what you put it.
