drain plug is stuck

I only mentioned that as there were several sections of the manual that
dealt with stripped threads and how to repair them. There was one set of
threads in the cylinder heads that must have gotten stripped often enough to
include a repair section in the manual. No mention of any repair for the oil
plug (or 710 plug if it is upside down <g>)

Chris, Hope it all goes back together OK. Manual says there is a chamfered
surface that has to have RTV applied for proper sealing. As a general
precaution, I usually coat both surfaces of any gasket with sealant before
reassembly.

My wife adds that, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus but the car is
from Saturn"

Got the RTV ready to go...just waiting on the oil pan from the shop.
Supposedly it'll be ready tomorrow.
