Re: Plugged Water Jackets in Heads ?!

[Mike & Deb <mdlefevre@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,
Ron's advice  is on the money-replace ALL the core plugs and clean now. Chrysler used a higher nickel content alloy in their cast iron and all the V-8s tended to rust more heavily internally than the competition engines. I have pulled numerous transmissions over the years to replace the plugs on the back of the block-what a pain! Of course routine cooling system flushing will prevent the trouble but not many people fix stuff until they can't use the car!

PS. Brass core plugs are available

mess with my engine to learn more, now I might be glad I did.

I pulled the heads and most of the waterjacket holes were completley
plugged with rusty crud. In the head side and in the block.

I pushed some out and left some for photos where you can see they are
plugged. Some crud went down into the block, some in the head. Do I
need to flush the block somehow or the heads? I don't want this stuff
just filling up the head water holes again.

Also, in the pics you can see how the factory gasket appears to block
some of the water jacket holes in half. That doesn't seem right
unless they are contolling flow?

anyhow.. below are pics... most likely they will show up as links as
I can't seem to post an actual pic yet.
