    freeze plugs?
    « on: July 19, 2014 - 02:30:32 PM »
    I'm putting the 78 400 into the car while I stroke my 72 400. 

    I'm curious as to whether or not I should remove/replace the freeze plugs.
    It's out and would be easier now. Is this something I should just do before putting the motor back in?

    I can't find any brass freeze plugs.  Only chinese steel plugs.

    Always a good idea while it's out. You can probably get brass from Summit. :cheers:

    no harm swapping them out , flush out the cooling jackets while they are out , any visable seal leaks especially rear main should be addressed

    What do you think about the pics of the rear main seal?
