The brass material is suited for water jacket use, while the mixed attachment styles cover the plug requirements specified for the application. This kit is especially relevant for International Scout II, International 1000-series, and related C-, D-, and M-series vehicles listed in the fitment data. If you are rebuilding an International engine and need a standard replacement plug solution, MPE-122BR helps streamline parts selection and assembly. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 97-23B, 381-8083) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing corroded or leaking engine block freeze plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompleting an engine rebuild with the correct plug assortment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring sealing at water jacket openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing missing or damaged pipe plugs during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting service on older International engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the engine code and plug style against the listed application before installation.
