Pulling the engine for new freeze plugs

Nice 66!
Those things are not fun! Back in high school I changed all the side ones in my charger with the engine in the car. Boy did that suck!!

Only down fall to the brass ones is that paint will not stick to them. Tends to fall off after a while. I have wondered if sand blasting the outside of a set of brass plugs would help paint stick to them?

I have never had a problem keeping paint on them. Clean them and use a good quality primer before painting.
