    sir, will a regular auto repair shop suffice to do the necessary replacement of corroded freeze/core plugs? or does one need to avail the services of shops specializing specifically in engine repair? thank you.

    If I'm not mistaken nasa 800-1000 ung surplus. Di ko lang matandaan yung exact kasi dalawang parts yung binili namin that time. Pero ang sure, sa may Imus meron thermostat housing. Yung surplusan sa tapat ng dating MWSS. Ang layo mo nga lang..

    depende lang sa location ng freeze plug, replacing ay sobrang easy lang, i punch mo lang ng screw driver yung gilid and lalabas na yung other side at kaya mo ng tangggalin ng plier.

    salamat sa mga inputs mga sir.
    White smoke sa exhaust could mean that radiator coolant is entering your engine. Kung gusto mo quick fix try mo chemweld or any other radiator sealing fluid (usually works sa maliliit na leaks).

    Another test to see if meron ng leak sa engine e remove your radiator cap and have someone start the car. Pag me bula (small bubbles) or talagang kumukulo yung radiator coolant sure na me crack ka sa engine. At that point you need to have the engine overhauled and probably replace the cracked head, clean cylinders (possibly replace rings etc.)
