Do I need to replace freeze plugs after hot tank/jet wash?

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

I would think that you should replace them anytime you do a major
disassembly, as they can occassionally corrode on the inside...  You
wouldn't know until you had the thing fired up and running, maybe even years
from now...

PS...  I checked Jeff, no luck on the pinstriping...

Apparently, the machine shops around here are not able to do "hot tank"
anymore...so now they use this high temp wash thing "jet wash" (did I get
that right?)

Anyway, I've got everything removed except the freeze plugs and the block
gasket set didn't come with replacements. Will they get damaged during the
block treatment? I wasn't planning on replacing them...

Thanks, Jeff
