Detailed description

The MPE-115R expansion plug kit is built for Pontiac engines that require both water jacket plugs and pipe plugs during a rebuild. Melling supplies this kit as a convenient, application-matched solution for domestic and import engine service, reducing the need to source individual plugs separately. It is a practical choice for Pontiac Firebird, Pontiac GTO, Pontiac LeMans, and other Pontiac models in the listed fitment range. The MPE-115R is designed for rebuilders who want a direct parts match for engine block sealing work.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 557-016, EPK-115R) for the same application.

What it is used for

  • Replacing worn or corroded engine block expansion plugs
  • Completing a Pontiac engine rebuild with matched plug coverage
  • Sealing coolant passages in the cylinder block
  • Replacing missing pipe plugs during engine assembly

Installation notes and tips

Verify the engine block plug style before installation, since this kit includes both press-fit and screw-in attachment types. Clean the plug bores and sealing surfaces thoroughly before assembly, and confirm the application matches the engine being rebuilt. Use the listed fitment to confirm coverage for your Pontiac model and year.

Quality assurance

Melling manufactures this kit in the USA and supplies it as a standard replacement part for engine rebuild applications. The MPE-115R is built to support accurate parts selection for the listed Pontiac fitments.
