Hi, I had my engine out, and had one leaking so I replaced them all. I am working on a 77 K5 Blazer now and have one leaking and of course the motor mount is in the way. I will do all of them with the engine in and make a video on the repair. Good luck with your truck, I hope it turns out good.
When I was in USAF as a teen ager had a 57 Ford that developed a plug leak. On that car the engine had to come out. Guy who owned the station I worked at part time told me try this stop leak product. (looked like silver dust). Never leaked again!
The mechanic just informed me my freeze plug behind my timing belt sprung a leak which is probably the reason for the milky oil, as well as the appearance of coolant pouring down & around the water pump, which led me to believe the water pump was leaking. Was a bit strange since the water pump has just 20K miles on it. I wish it was a freeze plug behind the exhaust manifold, which I just had off last week.
@@DIYOnTheHouse have a question I will appreciate your reply I have cheve aveo 2010 their is tiny micro hole on joint ( transmission and transfer case) I dried it with cloth 10 times and check 10 times ( that's exact point) when I start the car it start leaking ( leak is very very like mini mini 💧 coming out) making way to the ground by passing over from transmission fluid pan as that's is at the bottom Can you reply with my best cheapest options Plus is it ok to drive 4 to 5miles I have seen no over heating at all No white smoke No dragging No mix of oil coolant or otherwise
Thanks for this. This summer I have to do one of my plugs on my 04 Dakota. Gonna have to remove the exhaust manifold and go at it through the wheel well buy at least I know what I need to go now!
...how did it go? i have a dakota that has a leaky plug too. i also need to get at it from the wheel well but i dont need to remove exhaust manifold, thank gawd!!
I wish it was warm here. Thanks for the info on the name. I read somewhere that they are casting plug from when they pour the block? Thanks for watching.
@@DIYOnTheHouse Casting plug makes sense for me! Here in France, I call this "pastille de désablage" that I can translate into cap or plug to remove sand. Sand from the core after casting the cylinder block. But nothing about coolant freezing. ✌🤩
I have a 2001 Toyota forerunner 46 and there’s some plugs on the back of the heads next to the firewall very tight location how would you go about changing those. In this case they’re leaking oil. Very good video my dad used to use black permit text back in the day.
My 97 Explorer Sport Trac just went through this today. Towed it home. Confirmed it’s this exact same part. Easy access on driver side once I remove the exhaust pipe from manifold. Hope there will enough room though to get this job down. BUT, I used my finger to feel inside that whole like he did in video and I felt something small moving, is that normal or is the plug on mine in there 😢?
There shouldn't be anything loose in there. Just grime. If you have a shop vac and rubber hose, fit the rubber hose to the vac hose and see if you can get the loose pieces out.
I been at it for HOURS on my 85 cutlass it will not budge. Also I’m not taking out the engine just for this small job. I need to lift the car high enough to get more elbow room to knock it out. It’s a lil rusted in there I heard if u put heat to it, it’ll help a lil bit. I’ll try again tomorrow with some higher jack stands 🤷🏽♂️👌🏽
Hi There will be a good amount of coolant that will drain out when the seal is broke. So when it starts to drain, let it go until its empty. Then remove the plug the rest of the way. I will have a new video of a expansion plug change in a blazer with engine in. That should come out in a couple weeks.
Good idea to flush the block with water to rinse out the sediment and debris that likes to hide in the lower regions of the coolant passages of the block.
@@DIYOnTheHouse Nice. I have to change one in an E350 with a 351. Of course the freeze plug is behind the dip stick tube, and the exhaust head pipe is in the way also. I really don't want to pull the engine to have to fix this. Wish me luck.
I am considering a boat that has a core plug problem. seller says started engine and core plug fell out? Sound like the boat engine was not winterized correctly. Any other reason core plugs just fall out. They don't just fall out ,sright?
I have a 4.2 v6 f150 it’s leaking coolant from a 2inch plug close to the oil pant towards the bottom. Would you say it’s a pretty similar process to change it? I changed tie rods, shocks, brakes, belts etc. but idk how I feel about messing with the actual engine.
@@tylermulkey330 it was a pain in the ass to get the freeze plug in without removing engine. Took my like 3 hours It leaked and twisted off. I used a self sealing freeze plug that you squeeze the rubber into the gasket. Took 5 minutes and hasn’t leaked in almost 2 years.
What is the reasoning for applying Permatex to something that needs to be able to push out under pressure? It seems like it would just make it harder for ice to blow that plug.
I hope i find some that don't have CHINA stamped on them. Or paint them over. 'The plug I have to change is spurting water at the back of the head right next to the firewall. Theres only a couple of inches space. Is there any way to push that plug in some other way? Like hittin the plug on the edges? or to leverage it in. I cant face removing the head for such a little job.
I had one pop in to the water jacket. I fished it out with needle nose plier. If you damage the sides of the hole that could be a problem. The tight space is a problem to do it correctly.
@@DIYOnTheHouse I got a whole kit and they're shallow depth and yes they have 'China' stamped in the middle. I replaced my 289 heads a couple of years ago and just rebuilt the engine. I didn't think to change the plugs. I practised on the old heads and it was a cinch on the bench but not while in the car (Mustang 65).They're real low down near the transmission and firewall. I just balked at the thought. Well, whatever you think I just mixed up some Araldite slow set and just piled it all around and over the plug!! I''m replacing my rad and fans etc so there's no coolant in there atm. Sounds like a cowboy fix but I've done my petrol tank with it 25 years ago and it's still going fine (no leaks)!! Ha! Ha!

Run Water In It With A Water Hose And Raise The Car Up 4 Feet In The Air . To See Where Leak Coming From might Be a Bad Heater Hose. Or Water Pump Gasket Seal Leaking If It's A Leaking Freeze Plug It's A Hole The Size Of A Silver Dollar. On Top Of Of The Engine Or Bottom Or On The Side Of Your Engine. Freeze Plugs Go By Size 1/2. Or 5/8 And Up. Good Luck
Well how do you do a freeze plug on a 2002 Impala that have a plate inside where the seal goes in the block because that plate do not come out of the block behind the transmission that's the one freeze plug that I'm talking about
I drove my van about three miles & the engine lost power & started idling ruff. So I drove it back home another 3 miles then let it sit for about 3 months until the weather warmed up…… checked my vehikle to see if anything changes but nothing did. Checked all the fluids, & while filling the radiator notised water pouring out as fast it was going in, only to find the source of the leak a freeze plug missing. What are your thoughts. I checked the oil there is no sign of water.
Easy on an iron black when the engine is out of the car but how do you remove & install welsh plugs in an alloy head when the engine is in the car. Very limited space.
Found the freeze plug on the ground on the drivers side after the insanely cold weather we had here in Texas. This is a 2004 F150 with the 4.6 v6. The motor mount is in the way so I'll have to pull that but shouldn't be too bad. It was leaking anyway before the freeze.
I had one go in the block. I got it back to the hole sideways and then pulled it out with pliers. I was worried when it popped in but realized it couldn't go into the block because it was larger than all the passages.
Previous plugs were made from brass or copper, and were perfectly fine. These materials are much better with heat, and no crrosion. You have installed cheap, steel plugs with zinc layer which for sure not so long as previous one.
Did my timing belt and water pump and when I get it back together and fill it with coolant my freeze plug behind the belt started leaking! Get to do it all over again
Ok so i folowed your video to change mine and using permatex is a bad idea my motor keep blowing these new plugs put each of the 7 on it i suggest to use green loctite that the only way mine kept in

Hmmm. Not sure how to do that without pulling the engine. Sorry I couldn't help on this one.
Can confirm on a 1999 Miata engine exhaust side they can fall in 🫠. 8 hours to fish it out.
😬
My 97 Explorer Sport Trac just went through this today. Towed it home. Confirmed it’s this exact same part. Easy access on driver side once I remove the exhaust pipe from manifold.

There shouldn't be anything loose in there. Just grime. If you have a shop vac and rubber hose, fit the rubber hose to the vac hose and see if you can get the loose pieces out.
Probably a dumb question but how long do you have to wait for sealant to work or can you drive as soon as it's installed?
I would let it cure a minimum of 12 hours.
AND NOT A DUMB QUESTION EITHER ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD QUESTION

If you disconnect the motor mounts and jack the engine up a little maybe that will help. Heat is the cure all.
Great video! Hope mine goes as easy as this. Did you drain down the coolant first or is there normally only a bit of water there?

How long does the liquid gasket have to set before the engine can be started again?
12 to 24 hours for cure time on the sealant
Can you tell me where the frost plugs are on a 2003 chev malibu?
Sorry I don't know.
Cylinder head is the same type of are freeze plug?
Smaller but same design.
I am considering a boat that has a core plug problem. seller says started engine and core plug fell out? Sound like the boat engine was not winterized correctly. Any other reason core plugs just fall out. They don't just fall out ,sright?
Yep it froze. Make sure you feel around the exhaust risers for cracks those are the 1st to crack.
Can you doit without taking out the engine ?
It depends how much other stuff is in the way.
Simple and easy instructions thank you
Is it a must to use that red sealant or can you use any other type of sealant
Any RTV sealant is fine.
Super black, or copper rtv works well too.
Gasket shellac is the only way to go.
How easy are these to do on a nissan primaster with engine still mounted in the van plz
That I don't honestly know.
Thanks I will
Try change mine out today
Good luck!
Do all freeze plugs look the same & located in the same area in all vehicles?
They will all be round, and in the same area. I would search your engine expansion plug location on google.
I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee and it leaks antifreeze underneath? What could it be ?
If it's at the front check the bottom of the water pump for moisture.
Yes froseen plug
What size would i need for a rover 3.5 v8 😅
You would need to ask a parts store.
Do I do it before or after machining. Or does it matter?
I would do it after in case it needs flushed.
I have a 4.2 v6 f150 it’s leaking coolant from a 2inch plug close to the oil pant towards the bottom. Would you say it’s a pretty similar process to change it? I changed tie rods, shocks, brakes, belts etc. but idk how I feel about messing with the actual engine.
It is the same process, it is just going to put antifreeze all over, so be prepared.
if you can do all that id say you most def can do a freeze plug brother and also its a lot faster than changing out tie-rods. lol

Should it be slimy and grey in where the freeze plug is
I could be if stop leak was put in.
What sandpaper grit is best? Or just don't sand very forcefully?
100 grit should work, you just need to polish it.
What size and year is this engine ?
350, 1977
What is the reasoning for applying Permatex to something that needs to be able to push out under pressure? It seems like it would just make it harder for ice to blow that plug.
Any seepage.
How do you know which freeze plug needs replacing, or if you replace one. Do you replace them all? Thx
It will be leaking or weeping out of it. If the motor is out of the vehicle I would replace all of them.

Hi,
Not sure of that. if you can't access it freely then the engine may need removed.
How long does ot take to dry ?
Guessing about 12 hours to dry.
I drove my van about three miles & the engine lost power & started idling ruff. So I drove it back home another 3 miles then let it sit for about 3 months until the weather warmed up…… checked my vehikle to see if anything changes but nothing did. Checked all the fluids, & while filling the radiator notised water pouring out as fast it was going in, only to find the source of the leak a freeze plug missing. What are your thoughts. I checked the oil there is no sign of water.
I would install a new plug and test it, with any luck it will be ok.
Should all freeze plugs be changed, even if just one is problematic?
Thanks for the video.
If I had the engine out, I would change all of them. If it was still in the car, I would probably just do the one that is leaking.
What size engine is this?
351
Thanks for the video ( big help )

same. except i have the 5.4l 3v and my bad freeze plus is on the back of the motor... ugh

Welcome
So how do you remove it if you accidentally push into the block
I had one go in the block. I got it back to the hole sideways and then pulled it out with pliers. I was worried when it popped in but realized it couldn't go into the block because it was larger than all the passages.
Where is the permatex link... simple and easy thanks
Sorry about that -- here is a link. Permatex: amzn.to/3lZTJmT
Previous plugs were made from brass or copper, and were perfectly fine. These materials are much better with heat, and no crrosion. You have installed cheap, steel plugs with zinc layer which for sure not so long as previous one.
If the proper anti freeze is used the corrosion should not be an issue.
Did my timing belt and water pump and when I get it back together and fill it with coolant my freeze plug behind the belt started leaking! Get to do it all over again
Yikes!
Ok so i folowed your video to change mine and using permatex is a bad idea my motor keep blowing these new plugs put each of the 7 on it i suggest to use green loctite that the only way mine kept in
Good to know!
They should be pounding in tight, the Permatex is just a sealant.
Can I put them in while engine is still in truck
Depends on the room.
Please wipe off the excess sealer on your gaskets, so that your good work will not be frowned on.
As you will get many people walking by and crawling under your auto to check out your work.
Yeah you don’t need to goober up those one piece god I love em felpro gaskets
Will that work on cars running 25 psi boost???
The freeze plug is for the coolant system, not the fuel system.
Why do you change them? Were they leaky? Permatex is not harmfull to the skin ?
Yes, you could see water dripping out and leaking. The Permatex just wipes off the skin.
do you have to take the whole engine out to fix it
No. In fact I just recorded me doing plugs on a 1977 Blazer that the engine was still in. I should have that video edited and up soon!
Nice technique
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
i usually drift using a socket that sits on the outer edge so the plug doesn't potentially bowl / curve in.
Thanks
I was thinking the same thing
thanks
You're welcome!
How much does it cost to drop a engine to install a freeze plug
You would have to contact a shop or local home mechanic for that.
FYI there not freeze plugs on the 80’s omc 3.8 L. There casting plugs and they don’t blow out when the block freezes , only until the block cracks.
Yes you are correct - (mostly called 'core plugs' in the UK)
@@teabelly1565 And the holes are cast in to the block to allow the removal of the sand that creates the cavity where the cooling water will flow. For some reason in Australia these are referred to as welch (welsh?) plugs.
I drill a hole and use a slide hammer to get the freeze plug out
Great tip! Thanks
thanks! going to do this on my old pig of a 292 in 2 weeks.

How bout replacing when the motor is in the truck

What do u do if it falls in and rolls all the way to the back of the engine...?
That would be unfortunate. Keep removing plugs till it's accessible, don't have a real good answer for you.
