1-minute fix for leaky plug (Read 16 times)

erik Ex Member	1-minute fix for leaky plug 03/06/05 at 19:41:34 Take a quarter sheet of paper towel, wad it into a ball and stick it into the cavity where that blasted plug resides - works for me (at least for a while).

On the subject of drain plugs, I found out about a magnetic drain plug on a Honda Rebel forum. The web site is www.magneticdrainplug.com. I contacted the owner, and he said the plug for the Savage was out-of-stock but would be in in 1-2 weeks. Since I need an oil change anyway, I was going to contact him.

Or is this too serious for this thread?

I always thought they seemed to make sense. I never thought about micro-particles until I read the site, but you know, I'd buy one.

I spent a lot of years in military aviation (Army, helicopters) and if I am not mistaken the turbine engine and/or transmission had mag-drain plugs.

HUNTER,

There is nothing on this earth like a H model Huey...I loved that CHOPPER.

I spent a few years as a UH-1H driver. That was the best job I ever had, and I sure wish I had continued with it. My biggest mistake in this life was getting out of that cockpit.
So, it sounds like you were involved with the Huey, where, when, with whom?
During the Vietnam days, I was with the 101st Airborne Div in "I CORPS" , on the DMZ, in 1971...Camp Evans...between Hue and Quang Tri.

Lancer,

I was a crewchief/mechanic on them - from 1976 to 1983. Two tours in Korea (128th Aviation / 2nd Aviation 2nd Inf Div), a couple of years in 4/12 Cav Ft. Hood, Tx and a couple in Ft. Polk medevac unit. The medevac was the best since we actually did more than training - we provided a service to both the soldiers and the community.
