I've used a neoprene plug at the track to get by until I could pull the head.

-->Duncan,I think that?s where I?m going next, the freeze plug is just about in
line withthe bottom of the dash or close. The good thing is it blew the old
plug completely out.I just need to knock a new one in.I?m pretty sure I can go
under the dash and through with a piece of ? or even ?? roundbar about 2? long
which I can scrounge at work.I?ll have to remove some stuff but still better
than pulling the head.jim From: Duncan Charlton <duncan.charlton54 at

the firewall and drive it out or yank it out that way? Duncan

FoTI was wondering if anyone has a clever method of putting in a cylinder head
freeze plug without removing the head.I was instructing at our drivers school
this past weekend when it blew out.I may have enough room between the firewall
to use a short blunt air chiselbut I have my doubts so if anyone has a better
one please let me know.Thanks as always,jim g
