I am thinking this is not a problem, freeze plugs are often used in oil galleries and oil pressure can be higher than that.

I cannot seem to find any engineering data for freeze plugs on the web as far as what kind of pressures they can hold. I may have to experiment. I have feelers out for a damaged IMS shaft that I can plug and pressure test, hopefully I will find one before too long.
