Re: Poly Block Prep & Freeze Plugs

[Bill M <y1topbanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

So if there's a "lip" in the block behind these plugs so that you can
drive the plug against it and expand it, how to I get them out? Just
beat them in farther to distort them enough to pull them? Are ALL the
plugs in this block this style and are all sizes available?? This
block is a '66.

Also, I read someplace in the net that you have to have a machine shop
remove the lip in plug holes to install a newer style freeze plug. Is
this true? Are these older style plugs tougher to get a good seal
with?
