leganza radiator drain plug O ring?

Post by azlanos »

does the radiator drain plug has a O ring in it?



hi, im having trouble closing and keeping the radiator draing plug from leaking, i open the drain plug and let the coolant drain, then went to close it and after not ever tightning the plug i kept getting leaks after the car is parked, so i tightened it some more, the leak got less put its still leaking some, so i cant finger tighten it anymore, so i took pliars and gave it 180 degree turn, and still its leaking a little, i dont wanna break the plug so any ideas, can some dirt in the plug make the plug not sit right??????




also whats the spark plug gap, my manual said .31 but when i got the plugs from autozone they said it was .44 the old ones that i took off were at .44

Is it a Oring seal on the drain plug? If any is it in good state?

Plug gap: give us engine type and size.

I found two Bosch plugs for the 2.2DOHC. Both seems obsoletes.

FLR8LDCU 1.0mm/0.039"
