Thumbs down murphys law is a @%&*$!!!!

well we put the heads on last weekend. everthing went smooth. no antifreeze in the oil or vise versa. the truck was running good, i thought i was in the clear. took the truck out to the track to tune it and #@$%@$#^. made a run but something wasn't right. got off the track pull over open hood and antifreeze is pouring out to the drivers side of the block.

had to get it towed home ($130 $#@^@^). i'm not going to look at it until tommorow, but one of two things happened. i either blew out a freeze plug or grenaded the block. i hope its the freeze plug. if not i'm screwed. i don't know why it would come out the truck wasn't even running hot.

has anyone ever had a plug blow out. how hard is it to change?
