Re: Cyl Head coolant plug
Just for clarity, there is no chance in #$%^ i'm going to leave a $50k engine out in the cold to freeze, and without any antifreeze at that. Not going to happen. I don't want to spew water all over the dyno room at 7500 rpm, which has been known to happen with these particular plugs.

Re: Cyl Head coolant plug
That little core plug at the end of the head won't do squat to protect the engine from freeze damage. Its main purpose is for emptying core sand from that end of the head after the head is cast. In the inprobable event an LT5 should ever experience serious coolant freezing the block and heads will be total scrap afterwards.

Re: Cyl Head coolant plug
Up here in the backwoods of New England; we have times when there is no power for weeks at a time !
Is that not correct Steve? |
