So this car after head gasket rebuild in such...I ran a hose thru to clean coolant out and saw that the rear freeze plug was missing closest to passenger side. Please tell me I can replace this without pulling motor or dropping trans?! :(
 


your choice, pull the engine, or the tranny. you may of had a shot while the heads were off, but i guess they are back on now.
 
Can you get your hand to the hole? If you can get a screw type freeze plug. They work just fine especially when you don't have room to pound a new one in.
 


no way my hand will fit in there from the bottom. theres like maybe 3 inches of space between the trans pan and oil pan.
 
Hmm from top of car I can put my hands there and put my fingers in the hole (lmao thats what she said) so I bought a few different size rubber freeze plugs and praying that I can tighten one up back there! I feel I may be able to... it will suck but would be best n my situation at the moment lol
 
i posted in chat, not sure if you saw or not. but a block heater fits in a freeze out plug hole, you may be able to pop one of them in there. they slide in the hole and a bolt makes it tight, like a molly type deal.
 
Hmm really? What would that cost and what size? I can try that too :) I just need this plug in long enough to see how motor acts after rebuild before I pull motor! If I pull the motor I may replace whole block but at my current position may take a bot for me to get :/ so that's why im trying several options before I pull it... btw scottydoggs you've been extremely badass with all your help man thank you :)
 


never saw one, so i dont know how it works.

block heater is nice to have. and if you can install it it solves your issue permanently.
 


So i was able to fit the rubber freeze plug in their quite nicely and finally started her up today :) Ill upload a video to show
