63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

Not to argue, but they were never designed to push out when the water freezes. All they are there for is to seal the holes up that were used in the casting process. In all my years I have yet to see one push out and save a block.
yeah i know that, but they are 'always' referred to as freeze plugs, lol. they do push out though, like a metal hat on a thick icicle :rofl:
neil.
