I knew I should have........ Please Don't make my mistake.
I knew I should have done it, but I didn't! Stupid me!!
Well. I knew I should have put gasket sealant when replacing the freeze plugs! I didn't at the time that I did it, but I did read about it while the motor was still in the stand. But I had just painted it (my pathetic excuse). I'm sure it will be fine, blah, blah, blah!
I pressure tested the cooling system today, and ready to give it a drive this week!! But instead, I found a water spot under the motor. It's coming from the freeze plugs that I replaced and didn't put sealant with the plug. Now I need to redo, all because of my laziness. It looks like I'm going to need to pull the motor to do it correct! One of them are between the motor mount bolts into the block.
Please don't do what I did. Take the extra step everytime you have the chance. Learn from my mistake. I feel like such a dumba$$. Frustrated with myself and embarrassed.
What's your "I knew I should have" that we can learn from you?
