Re: [Chrysler300] Freeze Plugs revisited

["Warren Anderson" <wranderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   The  post regarding core plugs in a 413 really puzzles me. Never heard that one and have not seen the problem.

  What I learned to do was to drive the correct size core plug  in straight and seat them in #1 Permatex. My experience with the copper plugs taught me that only if driven in absolutely straight would they not collapse ever so slightly and leak and even with #1 Permantex. Copper plugs are so soft and  not forgiving in my experiences so I no longer mess with them. With proper cooling system maintenence,  iron plugs provide good service life. I have never tried stainless steel plugs. 

  There are numerous freeze plug remover/installer kits that allow an even, straight in push on eBay right now which is the alternate to making installers out of bar stock on a lathe in your garage.

  There is an expandable brass plug marketed by Dorman that is rated at 200 PSI and is what I have used successfully for a permanent in chassis fix in places where a driver will not be useable. I have not tried one to replace a disc type plug however. I do not think they will replace a disc plug. Rubber plugs might get you home, but most likely not, from what I have seen.
