Default Freeze plugs
Does anyone know if the 318 non magnum and magnum 318 freeze plugs are the same? I see a set on eBay pretty cheap and if they will work I would get the whole kit. Thanks!

Couldnt tell ya man...I had my mechanic do 3 of mine when he did the transmission for me. One of them that are on the back of the block was PUKING coolant.

Make damn sure you get the BRASS plugs and not the steel ones though...

You can snag a whole brass kit for $17 on Rockauto.com

Exactly what it sounds like lol. A ferrous metal plug located in the engine block and cylinder head that are supposed to pop out if you're not running the proper coolant concentration and it freezes. It does this to relieve pressure on the block and head to keep them from cracking
