A $1.00 large round clear plastic bowl from the Dollar Tree works great to catch gear oil from your gearbox. Solids and slurry fall to the center of the bowl. Shine a light from below to see. A magnet underneath may help (hope not)

Happy Birthdat.

I think the confusion starts with the use of the name expansion plugs
To me this means that they need expanding during fitting to get a tight fit but it could mistakingly be taken that they are there to blow if the coolant freezes and expands---If the water freezes it isn't going to be able to travel and find a plug to blow out, it'll just crack the block instead
I hate JB weld on W/plugs ...

Very nice Jasper!!!

Good stuff Stephen ---Well done

Gary, SWMBO is the acronym for "She who must be obeyed".

To be honest John, when you think about it, the expression is actually more demeaning to men, in that it implies that women have the most power.

I wouldn`t worry about it too much though John, you will probably find that the the use of this expression will die out at the same sort of the time that us older generation also die...

If you have an AutoZone in your area they will lend you a wheel puller. You have to leave a deposit and ot will be returned when you bring it back.

From Wiki: Core plugs are used to fill the sand casting core holes found on water-cooled internal combustion engines. They are also commonly called frost plugs, freeze plugs, or engine block expansion plugs.

Never heard of it????
