Took another cut ( .050" over stock bore now ) just to throw some cutting powder on the cracks in order to allow me to see the cracks more clearly ..

Those dang oil gallery plugs are a PITA to remove from the block ...
This tool works with a 1/2" impact gun ..
Should be easy work without the words that would make a Preacher blush !!

Whoa ....
Kind of jumped the gun ..
Had to cancel the order for this kickass tool ..
Being my SS check is late on getting here, didn't have enough green in my bank account to cover it ...

With Fedex shipping came to $65 ..
Has a lifetime warrantee, I liked that part ..
Went to my buddy's shop next-door to mine, he had a Taiwan kit that got the plugs out of the back of the block ...
They was 1/4" square, the plugs in the front was allen and put up a hell of a fight ...

That's one that finally came out ..
One more to go ...
Do hope it won't be as tough as this one was to get out ??
Nope, same gig as the first one ...
Drill and easyout ...
Now the oil passages can be cleaned with running a nylon brush though them ...
