I wouldn't do that. There is a reason that your blowing out the freeze plug. You probably have a cooling system blockage or something that is causing excess pressure in the system. Have it properly diagnosed and fix it. If you J/B Weld the freeze plug then it the pressure will find the next weakest link to punch through. You might end up with a hole in your radiator. It shouldn't be too diffucult to figure out the problem. Most cooling systems are pretty straight forward. Good luck.

I thing you should get it checked out also... you dont want more problems down the road. If you dont catch it now, it could get worse later.
