While attempting to change the #2 freeze plug I accidently hammered it into the engine block, will it obstruct the flow path of the coolant or i'm I gonning to have to some how get it out? I know this is a dumb question and wish to thank you in advance for answering it.

Simpyl take a hammar and a punch and hit it on the side to turn it sideways, then take it out wiht pliers, if you didnt damage it then its good to reinstall, but if you did damage it replace it, it will restrict the flow a little bit or coolant could leak.
