Dorman 565-025 Engine Timing Cover Plug

Dorman 565-025 is a brass cup-type engine expansion plug made to match the fit and function of the original timing cover plug on specified vehicles. It is built for direct replacement use in classic Pontiac applications, including Pontiac Bonneville and Pontiac Catalina models.

  • Cup-type design for engine timing cover plug applications
  • Maximum diameter: 1.392 in.
  • Minimum diameter: 1.382 in.
  • Direct replacement for specified Pontiac timing cover plug applications

Application Details

Compatible With 1955-1957 Pontiac Catalina, N/A, and 1957 Pontiac Bonneville, N/A. This Dorman 565-025 engine timing cover plug is sized for the specified brass cup application and is intended to restore the original sealing point in the timing cover area. The part cross-references EPC-80-B for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Coolant or oil seepage at the timing cover plug location
  • Worn, corroded, or damaged original expansion plug surfaces
  • Poor sealing caused by incorrect plug diameter
  • Service replacement needs on classic Pontiac engine assemblies

Installation Notes

Verify the timing cover opening size before installation and confirm the cup-type brass plug matches the vehicle’s original specification. Clean the bore thoroughly so the sealing surface seats evenly, and inspect the surrounding timing cover for wear, pitting, or distortion before installing the replacement plug.

Quality Assurance
