Boat plugs out with pipe dope
 

Man want to drain n get sand n debris out of block. Holy crap they don't want to come. Any secrets . They are brass with pipe dope on them and are there to stay.

Maybe a little heat?

That's what I was thinking too !

Ayuh,.... Use a wrench or socket,....

They should never be installed that tight,....

Just abit more than finger tight is plenty tight enough,...

Put some muscle in it you p*ss*!

6 point socket and eat your wheaties.and not the catylin jenner kind.:D

I have seen idiots use furnace pipe dope/sealant,,only thing to break it is heat.is the dope brownish by chance?

3/4 inch impact and a socket :fear:

Are you talking about your core plugs?
There's space behind them. Drill a hole and put in a tapping screw, grab it with a pair of side cutters (formerly known as dikes) and lift against a piece of metal as perch for a lever.
Or slide hammer while heating the edges.

I feel kinda dumb now, I installed my plugs with thread sealant.

If it's the block drains, I'm out. The guys who answered have it.

Try hitting them with a hammer, this will definitely help. I have had to do this a few times. After hitting them most of the time they will break loose.

Dam. Brutal crew here. Lol. I haven't tried. Grand sport dropped the motors in the cig. Said they couldn't get them out. Pfaff put them in , so I'm third party here. Lol. I'll forward the techniques to grand sport marine lol.

I'd just heat them up with a propane torch. No need to get carried away with heat, its just brass.

Be careful though, I had brass fitting break off in the block, and its a pain in the dik to try and get the broken pieces out of the threads, when your in there like a monkey wedged between two engines.

With those brass drain plugs, some guys get carried away. On regular blocks, there isn't a ton of room behind the plug. So they tighten the chit out of it, thinking they are snugging it up real good, but what they may be doing, it bottoming the plug out against the dam cylinder wall, and jamming it like a dam set screw..

Any luck getting the plugs out? I was serious about the hammer trick.
