    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 used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

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

    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,
