A good day turned bad when one of the freeze plugs I was trying to remove went inward (instead of turning sideways as they usually do) and has now made home inside the water jacket. I might be able to get it back into view, but it's not looking good for ever getting it out of the hole with the engine installed.
Can I leave it there in the water jacket or will it seriosly effect the cooling system and cause overheating etc?
It's a rather high milage engine, and I'm considering a remanufactured engine in the future, (but I'm just hoping I can keep this engine for at least another year or two) and will be using a rubber expansion plug as this particular freeze plug would be impossible to tap into place with the engine installed.
Help or suggestions needed?
