Re: Electric waterpump freeze plug?

im thinking you already have the timing cover off, cause if its not, there is no way your going to be able to install the freeze plug. After you press the plug in, either RTV or JB Weld the rear of the plug and timing cover. Thats what I did, and there is no leakage at all...

No I am talking about the freeze plug that is installed in the waterpump housing.

I put a bead of RTV around it to be safe.

I bought it off a guy on here. I bought the Meziere, the only thing supplied was the waterpump not any freeze plugs.
