[QUOTE="cdemart2, post: 538066, member: 5497"] What size freeze plug and how big is the hole? Does it go in the back of the water pump or does it go where the thermostat goes? I've had problems with stock thermostats sticking shut. Rear radiator 31x19 CBR, stock gen IV 6.0. One day it'll be fine, run 210 no matter what. Get in it a few weekends later, goes right to 240 into limp mode and the radiator is cool to the touch. Put a new stat in it and all is well until it sticks again. I made a restrictor plate with a 1/2" hole that goes in place of the thermostat but I haven't had a chance to drive with it yet. I just did a few heat cycles in the garage to bleed it. [/QUOTE]
