freeze plugs seeping

[Rednife]

the shop that did my block didn't set my freeze plugs right and now three out of four are seeping all over my nicely painted motor. If there is any way to do something about this problem without pulling them out and installing new ones I would love to hear about it. I can't imagine trying to put in new ones without at least pulling the exhaust manifolds. I just got this motor in 5000 miles ago.If anybody knows anything that would help please let me know. Thanks guys.

THEY MAKE A TOOL TO INSTALL FREEZE PLUGS.WHEN YOU TAP ON IT,IT DRIVES THEM IN STRAIGHT.... AT ANY ANGLE!!! THAT'S THE BEST I CAN TELL YOU!!....MAY BE THEY NEED TO BE TAPPED IN FLUSH....IT'S EASY TO PUT THEM IN WHEN THE BLOCK IS OUT....SO WHAT'S UP WITH THEM!!!! THREE OUT OF FOUR :eek: :eek: ....ME!!!! smile.gif smile.gif

Only 5000 miles. Maybe you need to let the shop know that they are leaking. If the freeze plug blows would the shop be liable/ sounds like P-P POOR installation
