there's no such things as freeze plugs mike, of all people i thought you'd know that.

Considering none of us cast engine blocks, and most of us have at least once purchased parts for our cars from summit and would likely do it again, it seems freeze plugs is the proper term for us to use? |

lol, i was gonna say go to an auto parts store with a camera and ask for core plugs so you can record the blank look

Herez an update. I got the testor $160 after getting said apater. Pump it a few times and the radiator vent just let the pressure out imidiatly (IE pressure wouldn't build). Then I pluged that and pump it up to about 5 psi, and low and behold water started dripping out of the passenger side of the motor.
So right now I am about to pull the motor. And it is almost completly stripped. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png |

now you have another tool to take with whenever looking at potential FC's to buy. |

mike as for freeze plug, there's no plug that fits the common idea behind a "freeze plug" which most say is use to save the engine in extreme temperatures by popping out of the block. ask people that make the core plugs what they're called, hell i dont even think it says freeze plugs in an engine manual. kevin. |
