Thank you.  It breaks up the chrome. The cap was too plain and needed something.

I knew things were going too good.  I have started to button stuff up and get the motor ready to fire. I put coolant in it tonight and it promptly started leaking all over the floor (and front of my nice clean engine.). Freeze plug behind the A/C compressor bracket has a pin hole in it. Saw a drip from the bottom of the water pump too. I now get the enjoyment of pulling the whole front of the engine back apart. Yippee! I have never seen a head freeze plug do that. I thought they were new but I guess not. Oh well, better now then later I guess. I'm gonna replace at least the three I can get to.  Those back ones are now a pain to get to so I may cross my fingers and see what happens with those.  We'll see what the others look like when I take em out. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!
