If I can have my twopence worth on this thread. Is it possible that as the engine gets hot the hole for the core plug expands making the hole bigger an thus the plug pops out. Would the problem be cured if the hole was heated with a blow torch to heat and expand the hole then hammer your plug in whilst still hot. Make sure you flatten the dish shape to also make the plug expand . Just thinking out the box.
