Seized blanking plug in engine.
My xflow has a most annoying bronze blanking plug seized into it.
Been fondling it with plusgas with no luck, what next?
Cheers

Do you mean a coreplug?
Why do you need to remove it?
The usual way is to make a hole in it and then lever it out

Wouldn't that normally be a taper thread? If so could just be FT

A lump hammer will always sort things out; one way or another!
