Doing this right now and have a quick question, for the OEM plug, does it go like this?



Or like this?

Door number #2, Jim!

And I think you're supposed to use some Hondabond, if in not mistaken, so double check on that.

will do thanks! just wanted to make sure before i use some RTV and then some JB Weld on it

Rubber side towards the Engine is right....like Picture one ......or do you expect that Mitsubishi did all plugs in the stock engines using the plug in the "wrong" direction.

Freeze plugs were also installed the open side away from "pressure"

I have seen that many times that the plug is installed reversed by some builders, so maybe it doesnt matter...
I´ve done so many engines with these plugs in the Rubber to engine direction and have no probs....

I hope it doesn't matter because I put it in like on picture 2

The answer was posted above german evoVII's reply.

This isn't a freeze plug.

TheRealDirtyDan

Yeah thanks Kaj, I followed your advice when I originally posted it and went with the 2nd option. Hope everything holds.

It'll hold. I've seen them installed without RTV and still work.
it's an OEM part, meant to fit there. You're good.
