I used a 5/8 inch, "oversize", shallow cup, freeze plug and surrounded it with Loctite sleeve retainer adhesive (green). It has a shear strength of 3000 PSI and an operating temperature of 400 degrees F.
If that don't hold it, I'm shipping the block back to MR T, COLLECT.
It should be running this afternoon.

Dan, I was very happy you didn't have to pull the head to get the timing cover off and that the "fix" was rather easy .

The Emerald Phoenix has risen from the ashes
After 27 hours of ball-busting toil I fired my beast at ten minutes past five pm today.

One each, 42 cent 5/8 oversize shallow cup freeze plug.
One each, Permatex sleeve retainer (green)
Two each, Toyota FIPG sealer.
Two each, antifreeze.
Two each, gallons distilled water.
Eight each, quarts motor oil.
One each, oil filter.
Three each, timing cover O rings.
One each, timing chain slipper.
One each, timing chain tensioner.
One each, timing chain tensioner gasket.
One each, front cranksahaft seal.
One each, water pump & gasket.
One each, Alternator belt idler pulley.
One each, set of drive belts.
One each, water bypass gasket.
One each, water housing gasket.
One each, dip stick tube O ring.
Three each, radiator hoses.
One each, coolant bypass hose.
Six each, radiator hose clamps.
One each, supercharger crossover gasket.
Six each, sparkplugs.
One each, valve cover gasket.
Three each. PAIR injection tube gaskets.
Three each, bypass pipe o rings.
One each, Sylglide.
Five each, brake parts cleaner aerosol cans.
One each, Locktite blue thread locker.
Three each, razor blades.

One each, oil drain plug gasket.
Twelve pair each, nitrile gloves.
Three each, large bandaids
One each, blue sweatshirt. :whoops:
A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to my dear friend and fellow Garand collector Todd, who offered me a lift in his garage and a bunch of special tools and a very valuable hand in times of need.
I HOPE that nobody else EVER needs to do his job, It was a screaming Beach.....

Wow Dan, that's really impessive to get your rig back on the road so quickly, on such an involved squared job.
You're not your average parts guy that for sure.
Congrats
Riley
P.S. I noticed the Toyota sweatshirt and thought it looked kind clean and wondered how long it would stay that way. FYI - I look like a pig when playing in my workshop (just ask Simon).

Well Mr D, I have followed these proceedings with great interest. I thank you - we all thank you - for the education. Sorry it had to be you, but it's nice to have someone [else] lay the groundwork for a tough job.
This is one project that I hope never gets on my list of stuff to do! Ugh.
Cheers, R -
