IMO, the 'freeze' plug is in fact a device used to fill in the sand-removal holes in the side of a casting. That they can sometimes function as a pop-out in a freeze is ancillary...which is a fancy way of saying it just happens as a side-effect. Since water freezes from the outside in, a 'freeze' plug is only gonna be so effective.

But I gotta say, if you're counting on a freeze plug to pop out, instead of using anti-freeze, you're the type of dude who's either living on the edge - a true rebel - or just a dumbass. Kind of like slipping your jimmy in some strange **** socket and hoping for the best.

WTH??? It’s not even 8 AM here and we have gone off the rails. I love it!! Only gregcon can lay out the facts like that.
