Freeze Plugs Installation

Remember the press-in plugs we showed you earlier? The three holes in the front of the block for the oil galleries are where they are intended. Instead of using them, tap the first portion of the galleries with a 1/4-18 npt pipe tap and plug the holes with a 1/2-18 pipe plug that you can get from most automotive or hardware stores. Make sure to use liquid thread seal to prevent leaks.
