    Great freeze plug pops out from Peak antifreeze freezing.

    Well I bought this shit last summer .
    So I go start the Camaro, in which I havent done in awhile... I get it running and come out to find a nice puddle under my car.

    I look to see where the water was coming from... Come to find out that my freeze plug at the #1 cylinder popped out. This Peak anti-freeze shit froze up!

    Luckly I have another plug on hand, but Im still gonna check the other plugs when it gets a little bit warmer out.

    My shits breaking and I'm not even driving it WTF! LT1 FTMFL

    Messed up shit right there. I had a similar problem but not with a car. I had purchased some Farm n' Barn 50/50 shit for one of my sleds and added after the system was flushed. Well one night I took it for roughly a 40mile run and for the first time left it outside of night in the front yard because we were planning on going out first thing in the morning.

    Well I got start it and come back a min later and there is puddle of green under it! I poped the hood and coolant was coming out the overflow tube which told me it froze!! Well I got it hot and busted the frozen shit free, then refilled it. Its been perfect since. the bottle told me it was good to -34 F, it lied!

    Well it turns out that it has caused more damage that I possibly thought it did.

    It turns out that my head gaskets are screwed cause I found the right side to be leaking and my oil cooler line leaks at the oil filter cooler itself. It might have became loose but hopefully its not shot.

    I dont see why not. Its a closed system just for coolant, right? You would just have to plug the waterpump inlet/outlets for the cooler or however its hooked up.

    I did some research and found out that I can take to oil cooler off, cut the 2 post down flush with the surface and then screw on the filter. On 94's it doesn't require a adapter piece.

    As for the water pump and radiato, I can either get some rubber cap pieces and clamp it off or I can cap the water pump by taking out the little pipe that come out of the water pump. Then use a rubber cap for the radiator.

    WELL, the damage is more severe than expected... I did a pressure check to find out that the Block is cracked!

    I dont know what I'm gonna do.. I have a Wedding in a few months and no fund for a block... I was going to have the car in my Wedding photos but screw it now... Man I'm just having bad luck this year and it's getting worse.

    Wait I thought you had the motor rebuilt last summer?

    I did, but when I used the 50/50 and the shit froze and it stressed the block to the point of cracking.

    I wanted to sell but Jess wont let me cause she wants it in the wedding pictures.

    Here is the crack in the block.
    See the Milk shake color, yeah all of the anti-freeze went down to the pan and when I pulled the oil tube out it came out like a water fountain.
