Freeze plug

Postby noseamum » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:56 am

The freezeplug on the back of the engine decided he didn`t wan`t to be part of the fun anymore and left the building.
So I ordered a bolt in rear freezeplug from www.puredieselperformance.com but do anyone know if I will need the others strenghtened as well??
Max rpm is 3600.
And is anyone running the electric water pump?

Got the part now and decided that I might mount a regulator bypass system, but searched and didn`t find any info on how much pressure and where to fit it.
I was thinking an elbow in the back that has a pressure valve that opens for flow at 28psi and just send it into the return line from the cab heater with a T joint.
But any advice or links on how to would be appreciated.

it doens't need to be that complicated with a regulator or anything and it's a good idea to put a bypass in there as long as you're at it anyway. I would use maybe an 1/8" restrictor in the fitting and run your line to a return like you said or maybe a trans exchanger line if you have an automatic. This will help cool the back of the block better at all times instead of just some arbitrarily regulated pressure point.
