I was going to wait to post this but I think this is critical. My good friend Craig crashed his T/S Camaro in Tulsa this last weekend. The cause of the crash was one of the screw in freeze plugs in the Brodix block. The plug was machined too thin and broke spraying water under the tires. Not laying blame on anyone but if you have this type of plug in your block I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you check them immediately. BTW, he is okay after the crash, the car not so much.

The recessed center portion of the plug is what failed so look at that closely. If I had them in my engine I would remove every single one and check them.

those plugs are really thin there i broke one not long ago all it takes is tapping the tool in to remove or install it

I saw the wreck on Youtube and wondered what happened.

Were you there Vern? If so I wish I had known and said hello.

if you see weeping stains on the plug and block it is time to replace it for sure

Curtis, I was not there. Sorry I missed you.

Saw another post about this very problem and luckily the failure happened on the dyno.

Check those plugs folks, this is no joke.

Well, I just pulled mine out....had to drain the block so it wouldn't freeze!

Mark, make sure yours are not the lightweight ones. You need to mic them and measure the thickness.
