Bitten the bullet! ::) Screwed a piece of screwed rod into my carefully tapped plug threads. Gripped in the vice, and beat L out of it with me lead tup.... :thumbup: The ring had a drill dimple/ false start at it's inner edge. Got a blade under and levered it out.... :thumbup: (again). Now, we're at rock bottom..... The only way is up, perhaps! David D |

Hi David, it looks like you've got to the bottom of all of it, and now there is no way but up. I expect you will have a much better running engine now that you are fixing it from before the screwup of the previous owner, and not having to contend with his errors any more. It's good to see the pipe removed, and the prospect of having a fully sealed system allowing full cooling, and full engine pressure. Sometimes there's just no substitute for a heavy hammer well applied. :poke: :bugeye: Looking forward to the return of the parts properly, to their appropriate place, and the video of it running like a scalded dog. :lol: mad jack |

Well Done Dave You can't beat a good wellying wif a big ammer. Now you'll get it sorted proper. Stew |
| Dean W:
There ya go, David. "Don't force it... just get a bigger hammer!" And, "If it ain't broke, you're not hitting it hard enough". |
