it might be easier to take it out?

do you know how to do your own welch plugs? not sure how much room you'll have to get at them with the engine still in the car with everything attached and in your road.

yeah and by the time you tear everything off and make up a few new swear words in the process from broken hoses, clamps etc you'll wish you had just taken the engine out?

how do you know the plugs are gone??

hi jesse, just a thought that if they were well cleaned and filled with "jb weld". (the plugs are normally like a cup) it may be enough to make a good seal. These products are very strong.
