Reminds me of a long story involving a Volvo outside of Wheeling WV in
December in the COLD and looking for a freezeplug for a B20b engine.
Solved it at the local parts counter with an expansion plug that lasted at
least another 40,000 miles (sold the car). Have always swore by them
since then. If you can get the right size (or close), your best bet.
