Thanks for all the replies. I will try and drill them out for now. Thank you Inspector I did not even think about drilling part of the way with the bigger bit. I do have another stupid question. How do you get them buggers out? I have soaked them in WD, diesel, applied a little heat aound them. Tried Allen wrench, allen socket, (broke 1/4" to 3"8" adapter. Any special tricks to get them out. Thanks, Ronnie

i take them out all the time you can heat them use bees wax or a toilet seal ring wax or if they are striped drill them out with a 3/8 drill use a 3/8 ez out i like the ez out that look like a tooth pick

Again Thanks Pat....Applied heat and a birthday candle (All I had) and they came out with just the Allen Wrench like they were loose. Also When I got them out found they already had the holes in the plugs. Just could not been seen because they were clogged and dirty. I'll just leave them out until I get the motor back from machine shop. Ronnie
