This freeze plug popped when i first installed the engine and ran it for 10 min of so. There was barely a dimple from pounding it in. I reinstalled and whacked it pretty hard and increased the dimple significantly. After running engine at a fairly high RPM while I backed the truck out of my garage into a tight turn. I was exchanging position so my other old car was in first and the exhaust could be closer to the outside. Then I can adjust the high idle. But the plug popped out again. I have not had this happen on any other engine. Does it look like i need to flatten even more or use a different kind of plug like the dog dish type? PS I am going to ice my shoulder and maybe get a massage
