Funky Sump plug
Ok am I missing something?
I know it was Very hot day here in Darwin and the heat may have affected my Brain but I just tried to drain my oil for the first time on my Model A and for the life of me I can’t get my sump plug out. I loosened the plug and it started to undo, then all of a sudden it just seemed to be spinning on the spot. It looks like there are two separate threads. A big outer and then another in the middle where the plug head is. The Larger one is the one that is spinning. I have stopped working on it and packed up because I have learnt when to call it a day before I destroy the car accidently. Is this normal? my next step is just to drop the whole sump with the oil still inside and clean up the mess later. |

Re: Funky Sump plug
Not normal
Sounds like it may have some sort of thread repair (helicoil) that is spinning if that is the case remove the sump and weld a new bung in it |

The bung has broken away from the pan.
