Hello list:


I need your help. 

I am restoring a TR 250. I decided to degrease and clean the engine, renew
the gaskets, replace the freeze plugs and repaint the engine. The freeze
plugs are the problem.

While knocking out the freeze plugs, one of them was knocked inside the
engine water jacket. I have tried to get it out and probably can do so, but
it will take a significant expenditure of time. My question is: will the
floating freeze plug create a problem with water flow? Any other problem with
leaving it in the water jacket?

Many thanks for your help in advance.
