I have seen this hole completely sealed with something, actually looked like it was JB Weld. This was on a Pro car. It could have been something else though, if its that important, let me know and I'll call the shop and ask.

Yah JB weld will fix that right up. Just make sure you prep the area well and let the JB weld setup over 24 hours.

Re: JB Weld+ Freeze plug (andysila)
Surface prep is your key to success. No oil anywhere the epoxy is expected to bond. Roughen up the surface with an abrasive, clean with acetone, lots of acetone.
And I go against the H-T norm. I think JB Weld is for home repairs. Real men use Devcon. Give this stuff a try, http://www.devcon.com/devconfa...id=34 you will never go back to JB Weld.
BTW you can buy it at WW Grainger http://www.grainger.com McMaster Carr at http://www.mcmaster.com and most large industrial bearing supply companies have it. It's not cheap, but it works when you are jammed against the wall. I have used it in industrial situations, and my Dad did before me... Now thats a recommendation!
Good luck.

What block and what number freeze plug were you using? I did mine yesterday with a Dorman 555-104 and it hammered in perfectly in about 3 hits with a rubber hammer.
