I installed them cup side in, based on the theory that by doing so you are bashing on the convex side, which will tend to expand the plug radially outwards making it grip the hole tighter. But no, I have not installed freeze plugs before, so don't follow me - I'm lost too :-) Seriously, I did copy what I saw on another B20E race engine, and someone who knows about this stuff told us to use the JB Weld. Hopefully we wont be taking them out again any time soon.
