Message	I've got a TT block that I'm having a bunch of detail work done to, like threaded oil galley plugs, polished girdle, polished block interior, etc. I'm considering threading the freeze plug holes and using a billet plug and o-ring. I know the pro's on this, but are there any potential negatives on the VG?
