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



Ah yes indeed, they do not come with the gasket block kit, you need to ask
them to add them in.
Oh they are a pain to put in btw..

Well, the answer is NONE.  :)

The only thing I mentioned about gaskets was that the block gasket set I
bought does not have replacement freeze plugs in it...
