Just a thought.
Tim the plugs break off as they tighten to there designed torque. They are like a cast iron pipe plug. Other than asthetics you don’t need to grind them @ don’t need to peen them. This repair would never be seen with intake on so just leave as is no grinding. I have repaired many cracks with this system. I put red loctite on plugs. Have had great success with them.
