Clean the crank well with carb cleaner to get all the oil off and allow glue to adhere.

Wipe a thin layer of Yamaha-bond or Threebond 1184 glue inside hole and on outside of freeze plug. Install freeze plug and Allow 24hrs to dry.

Three Bond 1184 is a semi drying liquid gasket whose major component is special synthetic rubber. It shows an excellent sealing effect not only on normal bonded surfaces, but also on bonded surfaces with large clearance. Excellent resistance to vibration and impact. After applied and dried, it will form a rubber like elastic body and exhibit excellent resistance to vibration and impact. Excellent resistance to high and low temperatures.
It keeps stable rubber elasticity in a wide temperature range from 40c to 150c. Excellent resistance to water and oil. Effective in preventing leak from threaded portions. This has replaced Three Bond TB-1104 and TB1194

My Eagle crank had the dreaded freeze plug leak. I used a sharp punch to poke a hole in it and a slap stick to pull the plug out. I meticulously cleaned the hole with brake cleaner then put a thin coat of JB Weld in the holeand drove in a new plug from the GM dealer. 24 hours to cure and it hasn't leaked a drop.

awesome - thanks so much guys!! This has been very helpful for us.

Since JB Weld and ThreeBond 1184 are kinda hard to get in time (in Germany) do you think ThreeBond 1215 would do the job as well?
