O-tay, firstly it's actually a casting plug used because when you cast
the block you need a way to get the sand out and you have a certain limit
to what can be cast based on surface area. Too much and the casting sand
may slough off. You can see them on the side of my I6
http://members.***.net/douglas.wilso...es/side-i6.jpg
The brass metal down on the block.
Orange coolant could be the newest more aluminum/environmental friendly stuff
or other types they make now that are not the usual Day-Glo green.
Coolant is EGW (Ethylene Glycol and Water). Pure water is the best coolant
but due to it's corrosive nature and to modify the boiling/freezing point you
have to add something. That something is Ethylene Glycol. Pure antifreeze
is a miserably poor coolant.

Re: 2000 TJ Radiator Problem
What we in Southern California call core plugs used to hold the
sand casts in casting cast iron engine blocks. Or what Doug here feels
guilty about, seeing he didn't change them while he had a chance, you
may just see one in a line of six on the block below his header ports:
