1940 248 Expansion Plug Removal?
All: As part of the massive flush project I am doing this weekend to try to alleviate my overheating problem, I wanted to take out the rear expansion (freeze) plug to see if I could get some of the garbage out. Unfortunately, it seems stuck tighter than a sparrow's you-know-what. Do I apply a weapon of mass destruction or what? Any tips? Thanks, Dave
Ben - your record is still intact! I drove it a few miles today and it is still overheating. But it is a lot better - it stayed around 180 for quite a while, then slowly crept up to just shy of 200. I thought it might stay there but it finally went over 200 just as I was getting back home. But no boilover this time. So the next and last item is the radiator just as you figured. Sometime over the winter I will pull off the hood again and yank the radiator. Cheers, Dave
