Replacing Freeze Plugs, advice?

[sam3]

tackling all of the block freeze plugs on an M20 over the next few days, have a complete top end gasket set, any advice/warnings? At 180k miles would it be stupid to not do the head gasket at the same time?
Thanks

clean the holes very well, little #2 permatex or indian head, and use a suitable driver. should go well

yes...clean good, throw the indian head to it, light coat in the holes and heavy on the plugs. a large socket works really well.
