thanks in advance

If they leak it should not get down in the oil. You can buy them at any parts store by size. They are called freeze plugs but the real nome is core plugs.

These are very small one on the head itself. Not the bigger ones on the block.

I know there are 2 freeze plugs on the side of the head that are only acessable with the manifolds off.
