Freeze plug size, 94', 1FZ-FE

[EagleCap]

I need to know the correct size of freeze plug to put in. I removing a leaking block heater. Seemed like a simple thing to start, but know one can get the right size.

Drivers side, first one from the front. Between front and oil filter. Hint, it's not 50mm. The block heater diameter is approx 35mm, LA20976 made in Canada.

Thanks All

I just did this exact thing for the exact reason. Got mine from Cdan - factory part and it was correct size. I think it was $2 or so.

Had to finish the job. I was unable to get an accurate answer anywhere. I used a Dorman cap style expansion plug # 555-025, approx 35.4mm diameter. Seem to be the right size.

If anyone as the correct answer it would be helpful.

Thanks

I also had to replace the freeze plug after i knocked mine through in hopes of installing the block heater. THe heater i ordered from Canada was too small...... great to figure that out after i had knocked the plug though. So i ordered one from my local toyota dealer. Think it was only $3 or so like Doug said.

Sorry, i don't know the size, but i know i went to NAPA, Oreally and Autozone.... none of them had one.

Why don't you just call Dan and ask?

I was hoping for a quick answer and did not know how to contact Dan directly.

I would still like a solution.

Thanks

Here's your answer..and then some. I have both in stock so I shot pics of the large one as well:

Small (the one you need):

That is totally cool. Perfect. Thanks.
I thought the small one was closer to 35.4. Even a part number!

 

[gotmud]

The plugs are slightly tapered. They could be 35.4mm toward the top edge.

Anyone know how many 96411-65000 & 96411-63500 I need to change out the entire block? (Its at the machine shop or Id count)? Any other sizes besides these two on the block?

2 & 9 I'd also get the oil galley balls and 2 plugs pulled. What about your oil pump bushing? 1FZ 4.5L Oil Galley Plug Kit - Yota1 Performance, Inc. - https://209yota1.com/products/1fz-oil-galley-plug-kit/

Much appreciated! Oil pump bushing is on the list. Wasnt aware of the galley bulls and plugs 'cause I'm in way over my head at this point....

Yeah, your machine shop should pull the balls/plugs and clean out the oil passages with a bore brush, because just running the block through a hot tank won't clean them out. years of oil sludge and build up and recent machine work shavings will collect in the passages and then work their way throughout the engine once its running... not good for the bearings.
