[Fot] What came first - the head gasket or the freeze plug????

[Jay Creel]

While racing today at LRP, I lost the head gasket.  Brand new motor, only 2 sessions of time on it.  Upon inspection, the rear freezeplug had "left the building".  So my question is this, is it more likely the gasket failure caused the freezeplug to go or the other way around?
   
  This motor was brand new, and it was put together (dad and myself) effectively.  This motor doesn't leak and it has power so why would the gasket go so quickly? This is why I am leaning towards the freezeplug as the cause and the gasket as the effect....
   
  Thoughts...
   
  Thanks
  Jay
