3/16 rod attempt was not successful. Managed to auger out a few more tiny pieces with the sneaky pete. Also tried cramming rope seal in, but it just fell apart and figured a mass of compressed loose fiber wasn't the seal I was looking for. So, I'm going to pull the engine.

Ok. So, I'm going to try one more thing. I bought a coil of 9 gauge wire. I'm going to see if I can get anywhere with that. If not... THEN I'll pull the engine. I'm going to dig into it tomorrow. If that fails, I'll drain the coolant and start taking things out to prep for the extraction. I'm so excited.************************************************** ******************************

Good luck. Things like this are what keep me from actually being a classic car guy.

Update, the 9 gauge did not seem to work, so I'm going to start winging stuff out of the engine bay this week and into Saturday. Bought an engine stand and leveler for the extraction. If anyone in South Western Ontario has an engine hoist they wouldn't mind lending out, lemme know!************************************************** ******************************
