Normally that's what I do except I was going for as close to original as possible. Do you know how hard it is to find 1-3/4 steel freeze plugs without writing all over them? Not fun....Joe

I just dropped off a coolant sample to Caterpillar. They will send it to a lab & I should get results back next week. 20 bucks (cheap) for lab work but I can't lose that engine. i'll keep checking for ground issues....Joe

----All my marine engines have brass freeze plugs, even if the boats are in fresh water. My incoming water is super purified (even de-ionized) before it goes anywhere in the house or garage, so no problem there!.....Bill S
