Hi guys,
So I blew a frost plug in my 1800cc. Ive took engine out and replaced plug.........fly wheel moved freely when engine was out. Now that I've put engine back in it won't start....starter motor won't turn engine over....even being towed.
Any suggestions?

frost plug

Hi everyone!
I think ive blown a frost plug in my 1800 as water is flowing out the back of engine through a hole I can feel with my finger. ...but can't see.
I can't find a reference to any frost plug in my marina manual?
Any help would be appreciated
