Put a little permatex ( the brown gorrilla snot stuff ) in the recess where
the plug fits and drop it in convex so that the bump is on the outside. Then
give it a rap with a hammer. My machine shop would not install "that type"
freeze plug so I had to do it myself. It seems to have worked.

i am near the end of my engine rebuild. all i need to do is put all of the
pieces back together. no problem, i have done it before on a midget and a
B,
however the last time i had my machine shop put new freeze plugs in. this
time i have to do it. i have looked in two different shop manuals and no
hints on how this is accomplished so i must be the only person in the world
who does not know. my best guess is line them up and hit them with a hammer,
but i only want to do this repair one time.
