Leaking freeze plug

[acudanut]

Thanks guys. TNJ had them. !!

Good thing mine are OK for now, sounds like a hassle to get replacements. When I needed a freeze plug for my 1915 Ford Model T you could get reproductions in brass or use what Bubba did . . . three indian head nickles. And, when installing them the buffalos and Indians all had to be facing forward or the car would go in reverse.

No, not really . . . but the replaced Bubba freeze plugs raised my cars value .15 cent. I found three 1915 nickles to use. You can see them when the hood is up, it's a neat story to tell.

Rick, you were right. "If one is leaking the others will too"... Well guess what, my bell housing was leaking also. Which means another freeze plug on the back on the engine is also shot. Wonderful news. lol

The small ones are marked 2 9/64 Part # 2140.. I wonder why they did not install brass plugs ?

[acudanut]

I am getting conflicting opinions. Some say they are all one size. Others tell me there are 2 sizes. TNJ tells me all 4 the same. ???

There are two different sizes needed if I recall correctly.

The 4 in the block are the same size, the one in the back of the head is smaller.

If you're doing just the block, then yes...just one size.

Again, conflicting opinions.

hi

if you have them out
clean the engine inside with a pressure wascher
at my engine came a lot of rubbish out
i had put the engine at the hoist front down so the water came out at the front (lower hose )
