thats kinda what my "pea brain" thought. If the magnetic plug doesn't
arrive at the dealer by tomorrow, I'll have them install a new plain solid plug with a new gasket, making sure they follow the install instructions for the new style gasket. What an ordeal for just a simple service.

You posted a pic...

From that pic, sure looks like the plug itself is leaking from the center..

It sure does.. Fancy looking cupboards in your Garage...lol

Scott,
Can't seem to get the "hot link" to cut/paste over to my thread. I'm not
a whiz at this stuff. Something I obviously don't understand about this procedure.

Here ya go. Get to your picture, click on it. There will be the "share" (circled in RED to the left (see below). Same link, click all the way over to the right(also circled). It'll now show "copied".

Anyone know why the text font is so bloody small on the replies...need a magnifying glass to read them.
.

The font looks fine here...

Probably either a setting or that darn infection.
(Norton hasn't had to block anymore, but BOLD still doesn't work)..

Besides the broke bold, I can't change the font size (above the B, I, U, options..). That may be your issue...

[TownsendsFJR1300]

Ok - just did that Scott. Can RodBolt view them on the post image website
or am I to move them to our forum somehow

Click on the "Hotlink for forums" off to the right. Copy that and paste on your post here. The pic will then show up.

RB should be able to see that.

As stated earlier, the 19" setting makes the pic's the size I post...

Commodore 64 with the cassette tape for memory...Haha

Forgot about that one. Used them in 7th grade.
Took awhile to save about 10 lines of code.

Anybody remember the Wang computers? Not kidding....

As mentioned you need a flat surface on the gear case and a flat surface on the underside of the head of the screw.
The surfaces need to be parallel and this may well be difficult to achieve. I have seen this before on an outboard, extremely frustrating.
Any drilling for helicoil may not improve things and may well compromise this perfect fit.
The two need to be lapped together, which is very difficult to do with a threaded hole.
The only solution often is to glue them together. Not a problem with various sealers that can be snapped off and be cleaned away come next oil change.

Lots of home appliances had slotted screws with a small hole in the centre, screwdrivers were available to fit them, I guess it was the first attempts at high speed assembly, and before the philips head came into use that they were used.
