ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Freeze Plug

    Since I've had my coupe it's had a faulty freeze plug. I know it's towards the back of the block (up agaisnt the firewall), I just wanted to know without having an engine crane how hard it would be to replace?

      Ok, well I've also heard about some special tool that I guess is used for this type of thing, supposedly it looks something like a socket wrench idk, but it's suppose to make it more simple.

        actually might not be too bad if you took the intake manifold off. are you sure its a freeze plug and not the coolant pipe?

          No I've got on it on purpose going up the hill and seen it leaking from the block.

                I had to remove it when I drained the coolant from my block to remove the head.
                Pain in the ass, took me forever. Try to get the car up as high as you possibly can. I believe you'll need a 17mm socket wrench if I remember, and an odd sized extension (5" or something) to get it. It's really tough to get turning.

                Hey, you know what, that may be where my coolant is leaking from as well, haha!

                  Oh, I forgot. More than likely, you'll not be able to see it very well, so you'll have to feel it out. It's a lot further back on the block than you think it is.

                    LOL I don't know how much more back it could be if it's already back by the firewall but i think I'm just going to buy a crane and do it the easy way considering I have to put all new mounts in anyway.
