Did a bit of a garage clean up and managed to wheel this out onto a non-carpet area so I could weld and remove the bungs. Did 2 out of 4. Found one more since last posting...
Oil gallery plug came out easily with 15mm socket and power bar on it, effortless almost. But wouldn't shift with the allen key. I wonder if it was the heat? I might try this on the other two.
Turbo coolant supply bung was REALLY tight, and took significant effort to move even with a decent 1/2" power bar on it! NEVER was it going to come out with the allen key... never. Jamas. No.
