Hi All,
I have a 1710, working great. Doing a bit of service and saw the engine coolant drain valve sitting on the ground. Corroded off, and looks like the hole in the block is plugged.
Question 1 - what tread is the valve? I have a 1/4" NPT that looks close, but not sure about the threads.
Question 2 - How to get the corroded remnants out of the block? Going to try an easyout, but pretty sure it will just turn to crumbs, and I might have to chase the threads with a tap.
Plug or valve, dont care for now, but where can I get the proper drain valve?
Thank you,
Eric O
