On one of my old type one engines I ran drain plug sender, I was also running a Scat 1.5 qt low profile sump and a severely lowered rear suspension. Eventally I dragged it off, all it did was break off the ceramic part and the brass "plug" was still there so no catastrophic oil loss.
I just ordered the pressure relief plug style from ac.net and I'll let you'all know whut I think of it. It's been in the triple didgit's for most of the last month and I don't want to push my "14" too hard in this heat so I gots to step up and do something.
Also another option on a type IV is to drill and tap the "useless" oil drain plate and buy a drain plug style sender and thread it in there instead of hunting down a bulging one. I read about that either on pelicanparts.com or aircooled.net.
