:sigh: Well, you may remember that in September I replaced all my freeze plugs, well, I botched the job.
So my question is...how should I install new plugs, unfortunatly I have to tear down the damn manifolds again...grrr!
Here's how I did it: Drove them in with a socket that was sized just right to contact the outside of them, as in the rim of it. The leaking plug is squirting out the side, looks like I might have scored the rim of it a bit on installation and it took a few thousand miles to finally blow out (good thing it didn't let go on teh way to/from Moab!).
Thanks
