good kill :thumbsup:

what mods did the SRT 4 had?

i'm guessing he means anti freeze cap but i'm not positive! and i dont know how that would cause the head to blow... only if timing went! or he got valve float!

damn $85... wow... i will have to get on that... i hope no one has bought it just yet....

freeze plug is another name for an expansion plug which is supposed to let pressure out of the block if your water freezes in the block

Exactly.

If your coolant freezes it expands, it a little cast iron block isnt going to stop it. Nothing does. So the "freeze plugs" are plugs in holes in the block that will relieve the pressure from the expansion if the colant should freeze. Still have to pull the motor to replace them in most cases, but it saves the block. ;)

They dont usually just pop out on thier own though...

yep yep...my head blew... got water in the oil yawn yawn.....

I would check the bearings out before you reassemble the motor/head. It doesnt take long to kill bearings with coolant in the oil. Water isnt the best lubricant ;)

yea thats what i said but he seems to think everything is fine!!!

i checked the bearings last time...
