Detailed Description

This engine core plug is made to match the original part’s fit and function on selected vehicles. Dorman 565-077 uses a brass cup-type design with a 0.22 depth, making it a direct-style solution for sealing engine block openings where a press-fit expansion plug is required. For fitment-based searches, this part is listed for 1987 Mercury Lynx applications, and the catalog note identifies it with transmission drain plug service in boxed packaging. Dorman 565-077 also cross-references EPC-133-B for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Replacement needs during engine service or rebuild work
  • Fitment issues caused by damaged original press-fit plugs

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the required diameter and cup-type profile before installation. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly so the press-fit plug seats evenly, and verify the opening matches the 1.5 in. size listed for Dorman 565-077. For 1987 Mercury Lynx service, match the application details in the catalog notes before installation.
