One more pic of three things......that were buggers!

1) Bottom left corner..... SQUARE headed block plug! From my experience, these NEVER come lose with a) open end wrench, b) closed box wrench, or c) 12 point sockets...... they all round off the corners! Today was NO different!

So, do I have a set of the sockets for the square headed fastners???? Why yes I do! Is it in your tool box? Why no it isn't! Please tell, where is it? In my other tool box down at my other shop some 53 miles south!

(I have never had one of these sockets in my regular box.....somewhere I bought one of those 69 piece socket sets with a mixture of SAE, metric, 6 point, 12 point...3/8, 1/4, 1/2" sizes....BUT it has 4 or 5 square nut sockets!!! .....and they sit there in my other roll around....so many miles away..... so OF COURSE, NOW is when I need one.)

But wait! My son's tool box is sitting off to the side of the garage.... He's getting ready to move out.....again......soon.....at least I hope soon.....I digress..... and I know that he got all sorts of sockets in the deal!!! So sure enuf, still in the plastic bags....I find the square drive sockets!!! SWWWWWEEEETTT!

Nice and easy does it.....and I was able to get both of the block drain plugs out of the block! And they can even be reused!!!!

Ok..
2) The fragment of the old heater hose connection that got pushed down into the block. That was not fun.....

3) The 160 degree t-stat that is NOT the proper T-stat for a Cleveland!!! It's going to get a proper one and a 190 temp! No messing around here!!!

Out for now!
Ciao!
