After I lost one on my Spitfire at Pocono years ago I drilled and
tapped a few screw holes around the perimeter (4-40 screws), so that
the screw heads over lapped the edges of the plug to hold it in. It
did not come out again, while I owned the car. Joe(B)

Folks: I am having trouble blowing spitfire block freeze-plugs. Four
in two weekends. I have tried epoxy; I have tried the scew-in style.
It seems to happen at high rpms. The block must not be cooling
properly. I use a late model water pump with a large pulley. Any
suggestions? Oesterle
