4 port swap into 6 port chassis oil lines

Hey so I’m am almost done with my build where I have put a 4 port motor into a 6 port chassis and I’m leaving the engine as an na engine. I am left with the feed and return for the turbo and this may be a dumb question but can I just block them off with homemade block off plates and call it a day?

The oil return can be blocked off with a plate easily. The feed will be a bit harder as it is a pressurized line. I would recommend a short (m12x1.5 I believe) bolt with a crush washer.

Take special care not to strip the threads on the iron, and don’t install too long of a bolt as you can risk cracking the iron.
