I've come to find out that my "headgasket" leak is actually a freeze plug that is weeping. Its the farthest one forward on the passenger side.

How hard are they to replace? It looks hard.

And I suppose I should replace all of them since they all might be marginal? Maybe a motor swap should be in the books if I gotta pull the motor anyway.


Thank

here's an idea for you. If the only issue is a leaking freeze plug, instead of pulling the motor to change it. If you have enough access to remove the one that is leaking you can replace it with a block heater.
 
Its not easy to get to though it seems pretty buried
