coolant block plug
After flushing the coolant, I went to put the block plug back in and it never gets tight. I did not want to keep going fearing it would end up inside the block. If you look at the picture, the plug is way below the threads and it still leaks. I don't know if this is normal as I do not have another truck to look at. I'm just afraid if I try to tighten, it will fall inside the block.
BTW, when I took the plug out it was not tight at all, but it did not leak. This is the first time the plug has been taken out.

I would say just go to the hardware store and buy three plugs a 1/4" a 3/8" and 1/2" npt and take back the one's you don't use there isn't anything special about the plug besides the fact that it has a recessed square drive. You may be able to find one that has a recessed allen head but you may end up with a square drive outie.
