Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a bleed valve assembly for an engine. In one example, a method (or system) may include a fastener comprising a threaded shank received within a bore of the engine, a bleed bore within the fastener, and a bleed plug including a threaded portion received within the bleed bore of the fastener. The bleed plug may include an internal passage extending from one end of the bleed plug and a side port in fluidic communication with the passage so that when the bleed plug is in an open position fluid from an engine fluid chamber may flow through the passage of the bleed plug and out of the port.
