Size of frost plug in 6/1 metro cylinder head?
« on: March 27, 2008, 08:12:07 PM »
i noticed a slight seeping in the cylinder head frost(freeze) plug on one side of the injector, so rather than have problems I need to change it, can anyone tell me what size it is and where to get one?

greasy_burger,

If it is a welch plug (domed disc) Just google it.  Parallel freeze plug - do the same.  Whichever type of plugs, you will need to know whether it is a metric or imperial size. Most auto repair shops will carry or be able to get freeze plugs.

Regards, RAB
