Freeze Plug problem (Page 2/2) fieroguru JUL 20, 03:10 PM Just an FYI, those rubber freeze plugs are not intended for long term use. If you keep it in there, do yourself a favor and tighten it up periodcally. If you loose it while driving, it will likely overheat the engine.

Do you know of anything that would be a more permanent fix? olejoedad JUL 20, 06:26 PM quote Originally posted by fieroguru: Just an FYI, those rubber freeze plugs are not intended for long term use.

They are not recommended for automotive cooling system use. The hole that it is plugging can be tapped and a threaded plug installed, providing a long term fix. fieroguru JUL 20, 07:10 PM quote Originally posted by TurboGN: Do you know of anything that would be a more permanent fix? I would measure it and see if a standard freeze plug would fit. If not that, then as Joe mentioned, tap the hole for a threaded plug. TurboGN JUL 20, 10:44 PM Thank you everyone for the help.
