TezzerTel:
It's not steam but I've had the parts washer up to 75°C. I use one of these to heat it

Seabeowner:
They can be particularly tight and the hex head is not vey deep. Use a six sided socket.

DomP:
When I rebuilt my 550 I couldn't get them undone, I mean I tried but the heads were going to deform so I left them.  Roll on to recommissioning and I appear to have a drip from the one below the stator😫.

TezzerTel:
So I've finally got the plug out from under the points cover (it cant be reused now!!!!) and I was surprised just how much 'slurry' was behind it and the one at the other end of the passage. This wasn't from the blasting process but from god knows how many years of running. Glad I've gone to the trouble of getting them out now. I'll leave the other 2 in as I can't see any reason of taking them out?

Sesman:
Personally, I’d remove them. Some of that slurry you have described may be lurking there. On the subject of cleaning oil galleries, what is your plan for the cylinder head camshaft galleries?
