Radiator drain plug replacement possibilities?
just like the title says. i replacement the o-ring on the drain plug on my radiator from go autoworks (civic half core) but it seems that i may have a drip leak. but im looking for a better solution for a drain plug that will not leak. any suggestions?

Get an adapter that goes from the drain plug thread to a -6an and cap it with a -6 an cap. I have a -6an line running to my drain from the turbo. when i need to remove the line for some reason i put a -6an cap on. doesnt leak.

different radiators use different threads, make sure you get the correct size and pitch fitting... I think the AN is a great idea, you can easily cap it off and if you ever need a water line for turbo etc its available
