That's what happens when you use the 1-3/4 plugs instead of the 1-49/64 ones

You don't know how many engines have left my shop with 1-3/4" freeze plugs.  Never an issue.

We can wax poetic all day long about "why" this happened....but it still stinks it happened.
Mostly water as the coolant can be a traction limiter.
When anti-freeze is included that stuff is straight up slippery.....even a stock Yugo would spin a tire with anti-freeze on the road surface.

Why so low in the front and high in the rear? Sucks about the freeze plug.
