stripped oil pan drain plug head
howdy folks:
got a stripped head on a 95 s320 I am working on - ordered the Evac- oil drain system but prefer to drain by drain bolt any words of wisdom -- I heated bolt but still no move- and before I drop the pan ( imagine a huge P I T A ) thought i would ask the experienced ones if they can offer some advice - i thought of drilling whats left of the head to see if I can get a pin thru the head from the side to maybe catch a grip - dunno Appreciate any idea's or suggestions please and thanks in advance peace;

Howdy mate:
thanks for the suggestion - wont go No way to attack the head at this angle to get an easy out there - plus I think the last monkey used a torque wrench with blue Locktite- dunno for sure but have NEVER come across such a tough oil pan plug head is pretty much a useless nub after the vise grip jaws Cheers thanks

Is there enough room/meat to weld threaded rod to it and use jamb nuts to get a new bite?

Howdy TMAllison:
That is what i am think I will have to do - I saw on some other post from '03 of a guy who mentioned something crafty he did - but did not go into detail IM'd him - no reply as yet I will weld as last resort - a tad concerned as to all the sensors " Near the area" and it it being an aluminum pan et all..... thanks for the input

Tack weld a rod in two spots on the same side of the rod. Crack the nut and then break off the rod by prying or hitting the side with no tacks. If you have to tack both sides on a real ball buster, first slightly knotch the rod on the engine side so you can break it off if needed.
Disconnect the battery and hook your ground to the rod to limit pitting bearings. I do not know if any other precautions are for welding on this car.
