Old Man with a Hat
Well it cooled enough to look under the car for the drain plugs as a core plug over the starter is leaking. Found it at 9/16" size but WTH! Does one ever get those things out? I've always managed to get them out of my Ford blocks to replace with petcocks but this one is a whole other thing. Hmm, wonder if I can get my electric impact wrench in there?
Also noticed while under the car what looked like the remnants of what was two rubber halves that comprised a transmission mount at the tail shaft. That definitely needs to be replaced and this seems easy with one single blot through the middle and oil on it. Took a look on Rock Auto and saw several that don't look like mine at all and then a polyurethane one that was two halves. Any opinion of what can be used here?
Last I got that special 727 pan gasket but I was unsure of the torque value. FSM says 150 in/lbs but that was before this gasket type ever appeared. I used 120 in/lbs and while under am completely dry front, back and left side but some leakage on the right side.
