I had the same problem, but had a set of reverse drill bits. Started small at first getting larger as I went I applied pressure. It heated up enough that they all came out. Very thin and hot but they came out. Had me worried at first. Yours is coming along nicely. Soon it will be together again looking real nice. Have fun and stay safe.
I heat red hot then use a candle to plug then a square pipe plug socket bit and thread out easy but I've done 100's of them . Good video keep moving forward
I have extractors made by Mac tools that works great. They are square and tappered, drill a hole in the plug and pound the extractor into the plug and put a wrench on it and turn it counter clock wise to remove the plug... The end of the extractor has a twist to it that makes it bitethe plug. Easy outs do not work!
I have one set that never works. I showed one on the video. I have another set that works some times. I tried them, but I didn't put them in the video. The plug metal was so soft, they worked farther into the hole instead of removing the plug. I didn't want to cause a crack. Yesterday, I broke a couple of the smaller extractors removing rusty bolts from the rocker panels. I'm asking Santa for a new set of square and tapered. Thanks for the suggestion.
Very. My brother did it to my Chevelle and I never had a problem but my luck isn't like that anymore. Now if I push it in the coolant passageway I'd find it in the oil pan lol
According to the information below, I have medium crank journals. small = 2.30" mains, 2.00" rods Medium = 2.45" mains, 2.10" rods Large = 2.65" mains, 2.10" rods (400 cid)
Their is no such thing as medium journals... They are either small or large journals, you listed the two different sizes on a large journal crank and small journal crank. Large journal crank didn't come out until 1968...
I won't debate what to call it. What I can confirm are the measurement. I don't have a micrometer. I used a caliper, so it is approximately 2.45" for the mains and approximately 2.10" for the rods.

nice job,
Thanks!
It hurts to watch this as a machinist that has built hundreds of😢😂 ouch these guys need to get a good book and read it.

I knew people that would just push them in and leave them. I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!
I've heard that too. It seems like a restriction.

That is funny.
When you knock the cam bearings out it knocks the rear soft plug out...
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a C4 that may need an overhaul soon. It runs okay, but at the first sign of trouble it is coming out.
Is that a small journal or a large journal kind of hard to tell I think large ❓🚩

@@chadd2715That's what it suppose to be for a large journal crank and the rods,thanks...
Heat around the plug...
True
You didn't heat it enough...
I was a too cautious.
