Stripped block coolant drain plug.

I did not post anything, but I stripped my driver side block drain plug on only the second drain. I am thinking I can JB weld a bit into it and after I pull it put in a new one. What size is it anyway, I may have used a wrong size to start with?

If you can get it out I would put in fumoto valves for your block drains.
Dont know the number off the top of my head but a search should find it.

LOL, Hex. JB a sacrificial bit.

This for the block COOLANT drain plug, not the oil pan.

the number for the block drains is F-108N.

Amazon.com: Fumoto F-108N Engine Oil Drain Valve: Automotive Amazon.com: Fumoto F-108N Engine Oil Drain Valve: Automotive


The number for the oil pan is F-111N.

The N means it has a nipple to attach a hose to it. On my block drains I have hoses run to one point so I can catch the coolant when it comes out. The passanger side you have to remove the starter to insall which only took me about 45 minutes. And even with a hot engine I can open and close the valve with a leather glove on. If you look around you might beat those prices by a couple of dollars.

Block drain plugs seal with the O ring, Not the threads. Wrist tight is plenty.
