Wow I am new at this so give me a break so far not liking this treasurenet. Thanks for your help I guess.

Pardon my rudeness, Dave. I'm sure that the good folks of TreasureNet are far more welcoming than I.

I caught your method of inquiry earlier at ABN. The slow dribble of pertinent information is not my style, and I think hinders you in your quest. Please feel free to post away without further input from me.

Good luck to you.

Yup, considered the "flat type". Used mostly on older model engines. Once you get the correct diameter plug, you coat it in sealer, then you install it into the block or head with the concave side inward. You then place the peen end of a ball peen hammer against the center of the dome and then smack the hammer with another hammer to flatten out the plug slightly. The diameter expands just enough to seal off the opening to keep the coolant inside.
