I need a freeze plug that fixs 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Al on  Sat Oct 7 09:29 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I popped a freeze plug last Friday afternoon. I went and picked up a new one at the dealer for $3 and found it was too small. It was a disk type as specified for a 87 B230FT. They then went into the computer and pulled up the part number that I gave them off my engine block.
That came back to an 88-95 B230FT. BTW the engine is a Volvo Re-manufactured unit I bought back in June 2003. The optional unit was a cup type plug. Welllllll that one was too big length wise (Depth) and would not seat.
Oh great now what? So I was looking at the other freeze plugs and saw they appear to be a disk type. Volvo doesn't show a disk type plug for this engine but it has these type plugs installed (8).
Have any of you guys run into this? I looked at using a universal expanding plug but the location is right behind the Turbo. As we all know rubber and heat don't mix well over the long run.
The engine numbers are as follows Block number is 5003653 and the serial number is F9035358.
