Thanks Gene. I will look for both part numbers as well as contacting my local meachine shop which stocks a lot of freeze/core plugs. 19/32" is probably a unique diameter to find.

The 1952 book lists 3835577 for that cup shaped plug. Was used in 235 engines till their end of production. Inserting "3835577 plug" into google will bring you several sources for the plug.

Rebuild many engines in my day. Every soft plug I installed I used red loc-tite and never had a problem. Just put a little on the edge of plug.

dtm,
Why not get a 5/8" freeze plug and reduce its dimeter to 19/32" in your lathe if you want to use brass or use a small block Mopar oil gallery plug that is already 19/32"?

Good news. I visited an engine rebuilder in Akron, Ohio today. They have tons of freeze/core plugs in stock. He has cup plugs and welch plugs. In stock was the 19/32" cup plugs for the oil galley plug. The 19/32" cup plugs worked just fine.

ps. Life is good. Mr. Prez, It could be beneficial to others, if you shared the name of the rebuilder, in the event others find themselves in need of plugs, as well.

Better yet, just buy a bunch of them and give us each one.  But, then again, it was 52 degrees in Seattle today --- so what do I need a stinkin' freeze plug for???!?!?!  Seriously, you should write up a short paragraph on this (eg, using a size smaller) and submit it to the G&D...... sir.

The location for purchasing every freeze/core plugs for my 216 is: R&R Engine & Machine in Akron, OH. Phone # 800-722-2000.
Bill. Just for you, I will check with R&R and see if they sell "Low 50s Engine Plugs" as you obviously do not need "Freeze Plugs"
