Battled the sludge trap from hell. Not pictured but it started it out with a very small, unusable slot head on the plug- I think someone ground down the original plug and that hole side of the crank. To remedy that I cut a big usable slot in the plug with a dremel bit. I then put my ground down chisel in it and blasted it with my phnumatic impact gun, but to no avail. Next, I torched it and then hit it with the impact gun, but again nothing. Fast-forward to the end, I drilled several holes in the plug, smashed it to split open with a chisel and sludge hammer, which collapsed it inwards, then I torched it and blasted it with a new 1000 lb torque impact gun. Helmet visors are the rage in 2014- Mcqueen style. Check out this odd one I got, with the clip in face shield.
