The rubber washers under the plugs crack and break apart after a few heat cycles. McMaster Carr has some metal crush washers with a rubber insert that work really well. DE.50 set me up with a set of brass drain plugs. See if he has another set. It's not an install you want to do more than once.

Gotcha. I'll ask him.

As for install, it's super easy for me. Remove twist locks, two hose clamps, done. All my front upper stuff is removed so the radiator just comes right up and out. Just open the hood is the hardest part haha.
