[Vwdiesel] Argh! freeze plug fell in block!

[Shawn Wright]

So this morning I decided to hang the engine from the flywheel end on the hoist, so I 
could shake the plug out the vanagon oil pan filler hole. Minor problem... it won't fit. 
So I still need to drop the plan. :-(
Tip: before engaging in silly engine acrobatics, make sure the part fits through the 
hole... ;-)
Getting the engine level again was a two person job!
