Subject:More engine dismantling & stripped screws!
Date:Sun, 4 Aug 1996 15:57:23 -0400

Thanks to all who helped with how to get out the stripped screw on my engine
tin.  Easy out did the trick!  First time I used one - handy gadgit.  

I found several more screws and bolts that required the same treatment.
Worked OK.  Problem is, I also have a <Severely!> rusted temp. sensor wire
connector which goes through the tin near cylinder #3.  This is really
rusted into the metal.  I can't see how it connects into the head
underneath.  What should I do?  The connector is already destroyed.  Should
I try an easy out on this too?  This thing is really bad.  

Sheez, at this rate I'll never get down to the basic engine.  Thanks again,
volks!
