Detailed Description

The MPE-232R is built for engine block component service where expansion plugs must be replaced during a rebuild. Melling supplies this kit with the plug types required for the application, reducing the need to source individual pieces separately. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 97-77, 557-063) for the same application. It is a practical choice for Toyota Cressida and Toyota Celica engine rebuilds when the original freeze plugs and pipe plugs need to be renewed.

Common Uses

• Replacing corroded or leaking engine freeze plugs
• Completing a Toyota Cressida engine rebuild
• Completing a Toyota Celica engine rebuild
• Restoring sealing at engine block openings
• Addressing worn press-fit or screw-in plug locations

Installation Notes

Verify the engine application before installation and match the plug style to the block requirements. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the block for corrosion or damage before pressing or threading the plugs into place. Confirm fitment for 1981-1988 Toyota Cressida and 1981-1986 Toyota Celica, N/A.

Melling positions this kit as a standard replacement engine service part and manufactures it in the USA.
