Re: Car Explosion Plus Srt-4 Kill

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!

Re: Car Explosion Plus Srt-4 Kill

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...

Re: Car Explosion Plus Srt-4 Kill

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
