Ronzara:

Many machinists will recomend using non hardening Permatex in lieu of silicone to be used on the plugs exterior diameter prior to them being driven in. Also resist the temptation to leave any "old" plugs inside the head casting after being driven out as they will create hot spots during operation. If you are are doing this use brass soft plug as they will last longer too.

Good luck

Rick
