Rad drain plug won't plug...
I hate to waste space on a post like this but after trying for 1/2 hour last night I cannot seem to get the rad drain-plug to plug again.
I undid it to drain the rad prior to pulling my lower base manifold. Now I am trying to put it back in but it doesn't seem to thread no matter how hard I push nor how long I turn it.
Is there some secret to this that anyone out there knows about ?
thx in advance, RP.

Is it in yet? I mean your drain plug.Memories of years past gone past i guess.Are the threads nice and clean?Might need lots of patience and persistency.Takes long enough sometimes to get the tank hooked up to the BBQ.At least for me some days.

I am laughing already !!! Interesting notion, reverse threading ? It never occurred to me !?!?!?
Well I undid it the 'normal' way but that doesn't mean much. I will try it the other way -- just as soon as I clean up the mess from the gas pressurization test. I have to get some new anti - freeze seeing as mine is now filled with gas (gas leak dripped into the anti-freeze bucket).
I'll let you know how this mystery ends.
Hey Nathan -- first thing I'll do (after getting my SFCs installed) is head your way for a road trip (grin).

You don't want to come here with your car man.... the roads are nasty... you'd be better off going for a drive down a quarry. There is lots of sand on the roads here... unless you want your car sand blasted....
