Let's be honest, I'm sure anyone can do this work with a good driver. However, this is another one of those jobs you can have your local machine shop do when they prep your engine block for assembly.

I think the biggest take away with this video is the nomenclature. I've always called these 'freeze plugs'. It appears that's incorrect and we should start calling them 'core plugs'. I'm OK with that.

Yes, I did go with brass core plugs. Steel plugs are cheaper, but they tend to rust. They both seal the same if properly installed. The brass just looks better and doesn't corrode like steel. It's up to you what you use.

Thanks again to Justin Frische for his help in this video.
