Default Instead of frostplug can I use a.....

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of installing my catch can set-up and I'm getting rid of the PCV. Instead of plugging the pcv hole with a frostplug, will an expansion plug work?

A rubber one? I would only use it if it's made out of oil rated rubber.

Sounds like a great setup.

I made an aluminum plug for mine with 3 O-rings then put it in with some honda bond.

expansion plugs are a bad idea, jus use a freeze plug or a nice aluminum plug.

there are some nice fancy plugs out there but what is the deal with a .20 freeze plug? that's what I have and recommend it. they won't blow out as long as you get the right size and you don't have to spend more than what's needed for something that does the same thing as the the fancy ones....ie..AFI, Z10, B&R.... K.I.S.S.(Keep It Simple STUPID!!!) Spend the money where it counts.
