Hi all I have started to strip the engine block down on my defender 200tdi
so i can paint it

I have removed every bolt, even the ones that the previous owner snapped and cover with silicone

can anyone tell me if this is a dowel/ locator peg or another snapped bolt as it just wont move

have painted the peg white
see pics

penetrating fluid. soft mallet. tap it off as far as you dare,tap it back on again and so on applying fluid both sides. once off the dowels you'll be able to to pivot it on bolt and more of the same.
