Welcome to FTE.

Since you've got a tech question, I moved your post and the response to it out of the New Members Intro thread in the Super Duty forum and into their own thread in the correct forum for your truck.

351M/400 T/E (Thermactor Emission-smog pump) cross pipe spans rear of cylinder heads, the T/E check valve threads onto it.

Can be a real b!tch to remove, as it usually twists, cracks apart. Once removed, what will you use to fill the holes in the heads?
