I worked at the dealership many years ago, brother built engines for years in his shop and I visit and see engines in nearby garages all the time. This isn't to say something got by me all these years.....or that this 235 isn't different..BUT.....!!!
Maybe its worth noting that these plugs are really freeze plugs. They are to pop out before an engine freezes and cracks the block. Back in my younger days I seen this happen many times. The water in the engine freezes and expands thus pushing out the plug and keeping the engine from cracking.
Early fifties my grandaddy couldn't afford antifreeze so he would pour a bottle of rubbing alcohol in the radiator, run it a few minutes to cirulate and then throw an old quilt over the front of his pickup to help keep the wind out. | | |
