Got it out thanks for the tips. I just made a huge hole in it and put a bar to it. Came out with a little love. I am assuming I can just pop it back in with a socket till it is flush. Correct?

When I was a kid in the 1950's I had a 31 Cad. V16. I was running water in it & drained it every night . This was in the late fall in Minnesota. I came in late @ nite & planned to get up early & start it & warm it up. The temp got lower then expected & all the freezeplugs popped out . The engine had Popsickles sticking from out of the block.

THATS the best one I have ever heard of! Got to park one of these V-16 Caddys at a golf course I worked at in the late 80's. Didn't really drive it, just pulled it to the lower parking lot, maybe 100yds. Still haven't forgot!

redrose thanks for the suggestions. When I replaced I used alittle Gasga-cinch Gasket sealer on it. I am letting the sealer dry over night and will fill in the morning. I hope my problem gone.
