Long ago, 1960 or '61, I had a rear core plug give up near my destination. It was dark and raining so it was only when I stopped that steam from the remaining coolant alerted me. I was visiting a squash player and asked him for a squash ball, which I pushed down between the block and the bulkhead. I used this without problems for a few days, and for a long time afterwards I carried a squash ball in case it was needed again.
