Is idea 1 bad? YES. Don't wake the sleeping sludge beast. Teardown. Your idea just sends the sludge on a round-trip through your bearings and galleries.

No problem with idea 2 at AACA. Those judges can't look in that area. V-8 Club judges will be able to look, but really, just one point for that excellent maintenance shortcut!

If you mess with the drain plug I'd try to make it magnetic.
