Now I have noticed after running the engine up to temp I get a small ammount of water slinging off of the spinning clutch/flywheel assembly and exiting out of the timing pointer hole in the bell housing. I suspect expansion (freeze) plug failure (yikes). Can anyone tell me how many are on the back of the block? Sizes? and a jobber that stocks them?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Will

actually when the plug came out, there was a wall of rust/mud in there. After I gouged it out, the antifreeze appeared! | | |
