Just ordered a freeze plug kit off amazon which was advertised as Brass and it turned out only 2 plugs in the whole kit were brass. ( no wonder it was only $2 more than the steel kit)
Looking at the Manufactures website, the description says the brass kit comes with brass plugs for only the water jacket plugs.
1- Is it true only two of the plugs go into the water jacket? others go into lifter area or something?
2- Think i should return and get all brass? i know the other two sizes ( disc and cup style) are made in brass.
I'm still nervous about installing the disc plugs and knowing i tap them good enough to stay in...
On a side note- do people normally paint the plugs or not when repainting an engine? I'm assuming yes unless they wanna see the shiny brass. the steel ones look to have some sort of zinc coating so i'm not sure how well paint will stick.
