Re: Freeze plugs

Paul speaks from experience, I too have built many engines and never have had a problem with brass freeze plugs. The only time I have ever used steel is if I could not find brass ones.

Also from what I was taught, the brass will expand and contract much faster than steel, this helps prevents leaks from forming, along with the corrosion issue that Paul spoke of.
