Anybody know where I can get a set of freeze plugs (core plugs, whatever you want to call them) for a turbo motor? I've got one leaking and I dont think there are anyhere in the land of Blimey!

Short of plugs, somebody know what size the plugs are????


Cheers from over here,

Any idea what the dimensions are? Looks like a set can be cobbled together if the sizes were known. Also, cup type or disc type? We've got several big engine shops here and I can do some shopping for you if you like.

Have you tried memphis equipment? The prices are high but they have everything.

Thanks guys, it turns out that they are 2" on the money. A little tough to find here in the land of blimey but located a couple at a tractor shop. I like the idea of hte core plug heater fix it. Might be just the ticket if you found yourself on the side of the road bleeding h2o. I wonder if the standard 240V here would make the engine heat up that much quicker or melt the plug element;-)

Cheers!

I've used a rubber expansion plug too for years with no problems. Just didn't wanna pay the mechanic to fix the rear freeze plug...the one between the firwall and head. I eventually will make a removeable panel to access it, but whadda bitch that one is!
