Odd cylinder head freeze plug size

Post by Ken J »

Hi All:

I had a few setbacks in my engine rebuild; one of them was the fact that I did not get a freeze plug that fit the bore in the cylinder head included in the kit I bought.

Well, it is a 1 1/16" inch bore, and I was told that is an odd size; no one here where I live had one in stock (including two NAPA stores), so I had to order one.

1) If anyone can tell me why my head had that size, I'd be grateful for some illumination;
2) If anyone needs one of these, I had to buy a box of ten and I will mail one to you (even if only for a spare).
