Hi all, am getting to the point where I am putting the freeze plugs back in my 218. Was wondering which is recommended, better than the other....steel or brass? Should I also use a sealent when installing them?

i always try to get brass if possible, and use permatex to seal them. i haven't done my plymouth's, but all my v8's get brass plugs. i don't know if brass are available for the flathead 6's.

I have used both brass and steel with an equal success/fail rate. Use of sealent is a must.

My brass freeze plugs were set in with JB Weld two years ago . No problems so far .
