When I was in the Navy there was a sign on every ship: "If you don't know what it does, don't touch it".

I guess that applies to tree branches stuck into engine blocks... ;^)

There was a thumb screw thing that went into this hole. Most of the time, the threads in this hole are shot as well as the thumb screw if it is still present. As mentioned, you can either tap this or just put a "fresh tree limb in the hole." :-)

Note: All the water will not drain out of the block by simply opening the drain on the Radiator..this was put here to get it all out to prevent freezing if you did not have antifreeze in it.

If it is not a Core plug (often called incorrectly a freeze plug) it is the block drain as noted below. JimN

I often was irritatewd by the fact that people call them freezeplugs as well. All of the frozen blocks that the plug has popped off has also been cracked. The notation that these "freeze" plugs would save a block from being cracked when the antifreeze (or more then likely straight water as people dont know what antifreeze is I guess) froze is ludicrous. When water freezes it expands as it crystalizes. This expansion is generally in all directions and takes up 4% more space. Maybe if you had one side of the block a big plate that would pop off, it might help. The water traveling through the passages to the freeze plug to pop it off is probably not going to happen especially if the water freezes starting around the plug and back through the system. These holes are to empty the sand out after casting, are they not?

At the foundries I've been in, they are called shaker holes - the block is rattled or vibrated until the sand comes out.

Sounds like the drain hole in the block. Sounds like the threads were shot, so someone stuck a stick in the hole. Borrow or rent a pipe thread tap and recut the theads, put in a plug and away U go.
