In lieu of buying a new exhaust manifold ($1800), I'm thinking of just replacing the freeze plus as they seem to be the weakest link in the raw water line. I took both end caps off yesterday to replace the exhaust elbow, and the other side (raw water) had plenty of rust flakes and grunge built up, causing the engine to overheat. I cleaned this out but am considering the freeze plugs replacements as extra caution. Appreciate all thoughts.
