Someone correct me if I'm wrong but those freeze plugs are not
there to save your block. If I understand correctly the plugs
are there so the person casting the block can remove the "core"
from the sand casting and not leave your water jacket packed full
of casting sand. Hence the term CORE PLUGS not freeze plugs. The
method by witch you should keep you block from freezing of
ANTIFREEZE catch the ANTI part there. I would assume since your
friends water jacket wasn't full of sand the "FREEZE"? plugs were
working as designed.
Sorry I didn't mean to go crazy.
