Any hints on sealing freeze plugs in the motor? Got one that is leaking even after replacement.

Is it simple enough that you can make it from a roll of gasket material?

Which damn thing? Also, in re: keeping freeze plugs in the motor, you can always tap holes on either side, then bolt a plate over said freeze plug (trick I used on my red block Volvo).

At least two seals are gone for sure.

Apex seals? Oh crap. Well, time for a 13B swap!

Welp SWMBO decided to go with a 13b turbo swap along with an FC subframe. Now we gotta find a motor. Already have the subframe.
