Well i was on my way back to work and my buddy with his 5.0 foxbody was riding with/ next to me and he is always wanting to mess around. So me and him get into it and i start to pull away from him by alot. ( No doubt about that ) and the ****ty thing was one of my front freeze plugs pop out of the block. I was Fu^k(n Pissed. So i pulled over thinking at first that my headgasket blew because of all the coolant. Thankfully it wasn't. And thats when i started looking around and the front freeze plug closest to the crank was out and pouring coolant all over. But the good thing is my headgasket is still good.
I had a 3rd gen supra and i would have known for sure it was the headgasket. So then i got to work to see if a buddy could go and get it with a trailer and bring it on base. But by the time we were leaving to get the car i got a call saying the city cops were near my car with a tow truck. So i hurried back to the car and started talking to the cop about what just happened. And i was pretty relieved that he said i had an hour to get it out of where it was parked.
So then i found out that my buddy couldnt get his trailer. So i started taking out the front axles and about 20 min i got the axles out. so then my other buddy got his truck and pulled me back on base. So now im waiting on freeze plugs to get into the dealership so i can put it back in.
Does anyone know what would cause freeze plugs to keep blowing out? cause this isnt the first time it happened.

Well, I found another problem, And the motor is comming back out:Swear:
There is oil leaking out of the exhaust ports. I found it bubleing inbetween the head and exhaust manifold. So that is either valve stem seals or headgasket. So i have to pull it to take it back to the machine shop and they are going to find out exactly what is is and inspect everything and put it all back together. And since the machine shop i go to is so badass they are going to do it for free and buy me new headstuds!!!! I already have a new headgasket and valve stem seals left over from last rebuild. So i will be taking the motor out this friday. If you guys want pictures just let me know. I always seem to forget to take them. Since the engine will be out im going to get the valve cover painted or powder coated. Just have to find a good place to get it powder coated with the color i want.
