i'm not really sure 100% but with most freeze plugs i've known to go out i replaced with the rubber ones that you press in and tighten and it seems to work pretty well.....just my 2CENTS

Hit one side of it with a punch until you can pry it out AFTER you have drained the coolant. Then, put one of the same type in its place. The rubber ones are only temporary and will probably break through at the worst possible time. However, first, make sure that the block hasn't cracked around the plug.
