F 135 engine popped a freeze plug on first drive after rebuild. Are the available from dealer? (1 Viewer)

I am hoping this was just an oversight and everything else will be fine. We’ll see what happens when we present our labor bill.

I’ll ask because I’ve never done them, are they suppose to have dents in them?

Yes, they are dished so by denting them inwards makes them fit tight.

Proper tool vs. a punch. When my block heater blew out, I set my spare plug with a lead hammer a socket and a short extension on the side of the road. No real marks on mine. I think I put the block heater back in a different position after I repaired it. I need to get a spare plug to put back in the ash tray.
