What is the solution of the engine overheating?
The solution to engine overheating depends on the underlying cause. Some common causes of engine overheating are low coolant levels a faulty thermostat a broken water pump or a clogged radiator. To determine the cause of the engine overheating you should first check the temperature gauge on the dashboard. If the temperature is rising then the problem is most likely related to the cooling system. To resolve the issue you can take the following steps: Check the coolant reservoir and refill it if necessary. Check the thermostat and replace it if it is faulty. Check the water pump and replace it if it is broken. Check the radiator for any obstructions or clogs and clean them out.If the cooling system is in good working condition and the engine is still overheating then there may be other issues such as a worn out head gasket a problem with the fuel injectors or a worn out timing belt. In such cases it is best to take the car to a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

What is a freeze plug?
freeze out plugs are metal plugs in the block and heads of your engine. they are are there if the coolant was mixed wrong with to much water and the vehicle freezes they will pop out allowing expansion of freezing liquid hopefully saving the engine Part 2: You will see these called freeze plugs, casting plugs, welsh plugs and probably other terms. The holes they plug are part of the cylinder block casting process to allow molten steel/iron/aluminum to rapidly flow into the block casting mold. The fact that they will pop out if the coolant in the engine freezes can be serendipitous but in most cases the plugs go bad due to galvanic action: the steel plugs installed at the factory are dissimilar to the engine block metal and will start to corrode (rust) and will start leaking after a while. This is why most antifreeze manufacturers claim they have anti-corrosion protection; it is also why 99% of replacement plugs are brass. Three points to remember: 1) before replacing plugs do your research and find out EXACTLY how many plugs your engine has and where they are. 2) if you have to replace one plug, replace them all. 3) if you are rebuilding an engine it is cheap insurance to replace the plugs.
