Default Re: Loctite on oil drain plug

I know I am late to the movie but just a tip for future. When I run into a rounded plug I weld a short bolt or nut to it and then remove it. In the industry that I work in this happens at least 3 times a week.. sometimes 20 a day. I never drill and easy out anything. Takes too long. If it is a broken off bolt that is flush.. drill a hole half the diameter and a couple hundrec.f.d thou deep. Build it up with spot welds at high heat until you have something to weld a bolt to. I rarely spend more than 2 minutes extracting a rounded or broken bolt. Especially useful on exhaust manifolds and heads.
