crank case drain plug?

[dooryder]

where is the drain plug in the 800 ho engine? need to flush the case out and cant find drain plug

 

[maxwell]

there is not one....there isnt much oil that accumulates down there.....not enough to drain anyways

 

[dooryder]

yea there was a bit of coolant in mine, and found out why my engine went boom, the oil inlet to the pto cylinder is broke, off, does any one know if those thread into the the case of pressed in?

the new oil inlets i put in my new shortblock 700 were just tap in. most likely the same, but good luck getting them out.

 

[dooryder]

got it out, and to my surprise the shop in kamloops had them in stock! first thing ever! but thats still 2.5 hours away from me, so have to wait till monday to get the sled running

 

[maxwell]

well its always good to find the problem. hate to throw a motor back in a machien without knowing what went wrong last time

 

[sledidiot]

drill a hole and tap it, then you can drain out all the bits and pieces!

for the coolant i would just get a metal rod and put an absorbing material on it and just dab the coolant to get tid of it tipping the case back and forth making sure there is no debris down there..

then before assembely just put a little oil in the crank case so it is just diping the oil when you spin the crank.

me and dad used a shop vac and used our hands to seal a smaller hose onto the vac and suck the coolant and debris out of the case

 

[maxwell]

creative. whatever works

There might be a reason they have them in stock so if it was me i would be changing both of them for piece of mind. Unless you know why the first one broke. Just a suggestion hope this helps.

 

[maxwell]

yeah be smoked it on the frame when reinsrtalling the engine haha

 

[renegade x]

I have been told to put a dab of locktite on them before you tap them in

Make sure inlet area is clean before you install the oil inlet with loctite, Loctite and oil DO NOT bond so without it being cleaned, adding loctite is pointless.

I was going to suggest shop vac with 1/4" fuel line taped onto the long skinny vacuum extension, done this before but looks like you beat me to it.
