7mgte freeze plugs

[877m]

i just bought a block for my 7m and the kid who had it took the freeze plugs out how many do i need and what sizes are they and where would be the best place toget them? any help would be appreciated

I would just run that block up to your local reputable machine shop and have them install new freeze plugs. They might do it on the spot and won't charge you much either.

I would get the plug from toyota. They can also get all the ones you need.

Don't use aftermarket. They have a history of falling out, with spectacular results.

Just trying to order the plug set from Curt at Elmhurst Toyota, but I'm counting 11 and the invoice list shows 9 (the same listed by "gs2040215" on post #4)
The two that I'm additionally counting are part # 11432B. They look just like 11431C (rear) but a few mm smaller (see yellow highlight on diagram below).



Also, plug # 11431B (front) looks like is installed backwards on my block. Is this normal or the way the plug is?

Its going to be different depending on the year of the block. The older blocks have allen plugs that screw into the block, there are two of them at the rear drivers side (where you highlighted), you don't have to replace these. On the newer blocks, instead of a screw in plug, they changed them for a standard core plug that gets pressed in.
The front plug is a different type of plug, it looks like a convex disk. This has to be put in place then "peened" or dimpled in the center to make it a tight fit. Have your machine shop do this, as if it pops out you will get coolant in your oil and destroy your entire motor.
