G'day BC, good to see you are still around..

When I did the welch plug on the LS, I had no problems getting it out as it parted company from the block whilst driving around the Phillip Island race track.

But when I refitted a new one and replaced the other two, I used the flat, brass ones and found that I had to file the edges of them to get a nice, firm fit, used a bit of sealant and a large socket to tap them in... Have had no problems since.

Awesome quality responses here as usual. You guys just LOVE a challenging question!!

I haven't been on here for AGES mainly because I've been flat out at home with the family but also I can't log in from work any more!! :evil: NOT HAPPY!! Ever since that hack thing happened.

Again - thanks for all the great responses.

PS: What's a drift? :oops:
