help! d16z6 coolant plug.
Hey guys, need help.
Almost done with my z6 turbo build.

I assume you mean the freeze plug for draining coolant on the front of the block...why are you getting it welded? are you trying to attach some type of fitting to it?

Yes, the freeze plug in front of the block. We are going to be running 25+ pounds on this motor. From what ive read the freeze plug is a weak point.
This is a sleeved z6 on Q. Thanks

freeze plug holds coolant not boost, Never had one come out on any motor but I wasnt running that much boost. Never heard of it being a failure point or anyone welding it. loctite if your that worried about it would be my only sugestion

Re: help! d16z6 coolant plug.
Something like that.I made at work I can try and find the dimensions. I made one that had more of a lip for someone else and it was harder to weld. I covered that spot in aluminum epoxy after the fact to ensure there wouldn't be any leaks[/QUOTE]
