Serious Problem with 223....
I have a serious water leak between the engine and the tranny bolt up area...the water is running straight out the engine when I fill it up...Is there a freeze plug on the top where the engine hooks up with the tranny...There is like a half shape moon space opening where all the water is coming out...Where I am talking about is the top rear of the engine where it hooks up...the engine does fire up...It ran for like 28 secs today..until it ran out of fuel...had to shut down cause I didnt want to lock it up...wooohooo!!!!!! Might have to hook up an electic fuel pump to give it some juice...Also, the engine seems to be already rebuilt...the seals look brand new and there was hardly any sludge in the thing... wooohooo!!!!!!! Does anybody know where I can get help...Please

Hmmm.... I believe there are three freeze plugs on the back of the block, but I'm not for certain. When I get home from work tonight I'll take a look at my 223 for ya. Seeing as how it's still on the stand and all! GRRRR....
