There are freeze plugs available that have a bolt in the center that you tighten after inserting them. They have a neoprene o-ring and internal fingers which expand inside the block as the bolt is cranked. once installed they are not coming out plus they can be installed in tight places. Pricey, but they work. Like this http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=13455
