Oliver 88 rebuilt head

agonair · Jan 31, 2014

Hey guys, I just put a rebuilt head on my 88. We had it checked over and determined no cracks and in great shape.
Here is what I have noticed...on the top of the head are four what appear to expansion type round plugs. The number 3...gets just a slight bit of antifreeze seep. It does not run down the block, nor leak, but seeps. You start it up and shut it off and you"ll see the seep just around the plug. What to do?

That is a freeze plug, the best thing would be to replace it. You could tap it lightly with a slightly smaller bolt and hammer and see if it stops leaking. Chuck

If you replace it, you could put a fine bit of Permatex on the edge before knocking it in place.
