I have to agree with "Rusty" DNE even if he can't wait for a guy to finish a post...LOL. I like to have freeze plugs that are just about as deep as the thickness of the block...more sealing surface area...no leaky leaky. You are doing a fine job. Trial and error are one of the best teachers. "gee I sure won't ever do that again"
