[Spridgets] blown frost plug

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

So 'fess up?  You loosened the plug without telling the wife to prove  you 
were right and needed the extended coverage??
 
What I've seen UK racers do is drill and tap a small hole to screw in an  
Alen cap scew that overlaps onto the core plug (freeze plug) so it can't pop  
out.  However, I've never seen one pop out before.
 
I can't see the point of the silicone as it wouldn't prevent it popping out 
 and might in fact help it pop out by lubricating the orifice (!).  I'd fit 
 dry and make sure it's really fully home.

A 100  mile tow equals $420.00, a few months before my wife cancelled the
extended  coverage with C.A.A., we now have the extended coverage back.

I had  removed all of the frost plugs a couple of years ago, the block was
boiled,  and the engine was freshened up. I used some automotive silicone on
the new  frost plugs. My question, should I install the new frost plug dry, 
or
try  the silicone again?
Thanks for any info
