Sandman-The local shop said they can find a LU from a blown engine and swap out the guts. But the labor costs will be a killer, I don't think i would tackle that big a job. But if this fails, thats my only option.
Mike-I am moving the magnet to the top plug may not be the best but better than nothing. At the end of the season, I will run the LU in the driveway to get it all mixed up then dump it, it will come out pretty quick through that new hole.
Yea Ronnie its a tapered tap, I used 2,, the first was the slow taper type then I uses the one in the pic. It is almost bottoming, but I cant drive it in too far because of the shape of the case. Thats why I'll cut it and tap again, I'll cut it twice if I have to,. I'll finsh off with teflon tape and thread sealant. (not sure which kind yet).
I will post results, this may come in handy for others.
