been too crook to work on it since...

but will hopefully get a chance to look at it again this weekend

drills, dremels, and a ****ing big hammer will get me there i hope...

be interesting to see how much of the thread survives...

What Aaron suggests, is what I had to do to replace my plug.

I also found that even after taping it with plumbers tape when threading the new one back into the hole, it still leaked. To fix that, I selected my most suitable hammer (normally the biggest) and peened the face.

It don't leak no more.

I have given up using tape and use Loctite Master Pipe Sealant on everything now, even garden taps, and no more leaks on anything :D

i have another motor and oh joy, i have to do it to this one too..

the joys of land rover ownership...

how often does the bigger plug towards the back of the block go?

should i be doing that one as well to be safe?

is it a conduit thread as well?

Most probably is BS Conduit.

Replace all of them, especially if it is out of the car,
