Default Throttle body heater line removal

so admittedly I have no idea where the proper place to post this question. I'm wondering how this port is removed. Is it threaded or press fit? I don't need it on my race motor as all it does circulate hot coolant through the throttle body. I would like to use it as a port to put a temp sensor.

It's on the site somewhere but damn if I can figure out a search for it. Ask @aidandj for it. He posted it about 2 weeks ago +/-.

press fit
see aidan's thread, it was a few days ago, so probably the last 1000-2000 pages

i just plugged it for now. Better than a rubber cap with jb weld and a hose clamp like i had on my old head.

Bonus that i have 1/2npt port if/when i replace the gauge cluster.
