So a customer came to me with concerns that his new freeze plugs he just bought for 2 engines he is building are to much oversize.
I tend to agree
BUT,I am not a race guy
You can see in the pic these are not ordinary freeze plugs
There are 4 of them per engine
Cast Iron Block,Aluminum Freeze Plug,,for sprint cars
So first thing I did was make plug gauge to see exactly what the hole size is
consistently all 8 holes are the same,
also all freeze plugs measure the same
problem is,they will be almost an .008 press fit.
These Freeze plugs are roughly 1.625 diameter and .500thick that presses in
Thoughts please
