Popped the rear plug today on way to work, fun. Happened during a spirited run through 3rd gear. Not sure if maybe I didn't set it properly on install, has been completely leak free for 5k miles since I freshened up the motor. Head and block were properly cleaned before I assembled everything, all coolant plugs were lock tighted in, none have leaked until today. (It completely popped out).
I'll be replacing it with a bolted version for sure, just wondering if it is worth it to do the bypass kit? Truck is just a fun daily now, might hook a camper behind it a few times this summer. Not sure what it makes for power, does brake traction in any gear though if not careful. 3k rpm for now, 5x12s, 215pump, and he351/ht60 making about 60psi on close to stock timing.
Truck was not very hot when it happened, just got off highway in 20 ish degree weather, cooled down some between stop lights probably.
