How many have blown their freeze plugs in the 03 to 04 305 motors?
Just wondering if this is common with those years also.

 

I HAVE BLOWN MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 04.5

 

Is your motor the 600 series?

 

yep.

Well my fine big mean lizard friend : Read the thread again. You are a different breed

 

I have not...125k of 3200 rpms and up with 575 hp on tap.

I am going to cover it with a plate anyways while my turbos are out.

 

92000 abused miles, and no not YET!

 

well you guys are just lucky. i am glad for both of you.

 

Well, I guess I am trying to figure out if the 305 motors have this problem. My 03 hasnt done it yet - but would rather be preventative and put the plates in. But if the heavy modded 03-04 305's arent blowing them I guess it would be a 'peace of mind' type thing.

 

dan, i have only head of the early 600's doing it. you'll probably be just fine.

 

I blew mine with only the Hot Juice. It was cool to break the tires loose at 100 MPH though. I stuck a new one in and built my own plate for across the back and JB welded it in. I haven't had any trouble since.

 

mine blew last year at the track

 

Does anyone know exactly why this happens? I mean a definate answer and not some guess?

 

Anyone? My buddies is killing us it even blows them with the SMARTY on 6 at cool temps. 2 in the back we put a plate on 2 in the side and now its at the dealer, it never did thsi before they put the new shortblock in. It is an 06 by the way
