Air check valve pipe removal

[JJFIVEOH]

I was just wondering if anybody has removed the air check valve pipe that connects to the heads and into the emissions system. I have had mine capped off for years, but it has become a pain to try and keep it from leaking. I just want to take it off and cap the holes off in the head somehow. I have tried in the past but I wasn't too concerned about it. I would just like to know if anybody has done this since many of us have removed most if not all emissions controls. Thanks!

Your local Ford dealership should have the plugs you need. They were about 4 bux each I think.
They are threaded on the inside as well, to permit accessories as the plugs are used in the front of the head as well.

You'll probably need to get allot of cleaner to get the carbon build up out of the threads....good luck!
