#Freeze plug installer tool cracked#
When a cracked engine get repaired by pinning, the plug hole is sometimes filled up and pinned that the plug hole is completely gone and invisible.Ī restoration would not allow this method as these plug holes are part of the originality.īut fitting a plug with better material is a good thing to do.īetter than over sizing the hole for a bigger plug. If one can plug these holes with a permanent never detoriating plug it is a good job. The "casting plugs" are not a necessity for the engine, but rather an annoying left over from the casting procedure. Doesn't cost much & I do it as a matter of course. Heartily agree that if the ones on the side are gone so will the one on the back.Īs many old blocks have half the lands which support the core plug broken away making it near impossible to fit the saucer type plug, if the engine is out I would recommend having your machinist bore all these holes right through & fit brass or stainless cup type plugs & they'll never need replacing again. Too small or the ball on a ball peen won't do the job.Īny doubt then drill the centre of another plug (about 1/4") put silicone over the plug already installed then knock home the second plug (with the centre drilled). Then with a sealant they fit a plug using a drift of about 3/4 the diameter of the plug with a swift hit to the centre. Anyone got any ideas on this?Īrtificer wrote:Many professionals remove the old saucer/dish type core plug & clean the groove as well as possible. Have any of you guys done this and found a short-cut or better way to try this? I have the jeep sitting on all four wheels and it seems the best angle of attack is still from above. I can probably borrow a 5lb maul tomorrow and try again, but maybe I need an assistant to hold the drift? Would a drift with a 1/4" flat end be a better tool to use to try to mushroom out the plug?

All that happened was I loosened it up even more as now I can see a drop of coolant start to develop where there was only a stain before.Īnyone got a tip on how to get enough POWER behind that drift to mushroom the plug to fit tight without removing the motor from the jeep? I used some sealer on it and gave it what I thought was a good enough whack to seat it at the time and now it seems to need more of a dimple to seat it.Īir cleaner and starter out of the jeep, I just tried a 2"x 9/16" drift and a 40oz ball-peen on it to see if I could expand it some more to stop the leak.
