Product Details

The Pioneer Cables PE-108-B expansion plug kit is built for engine block sealing service where a brass plug is specified. Brass construction is used for strong corrosion resistance in cooling-system related engine repair, making it a practical choice for rebuilders and technicians working on Ford F-100, Ford F-150, Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, and Lincoln Town Car applications. This PE-108-B listing covers model years from 1963 through 1997 across the confirmed fitment range.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing worn or corroded engine expansion plugs
• Restoring cylinder block sealing during engine rebuilds
• Addressing coolant seepage at block plug locations
• Servicing older Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln engines with brass plug requirements

Installation Notes

Verify block plug diameter and application before installation. Clean the bore thoroughly, inspect for pitting or distortion, and install the plug to the correct depth for a uniform seal. Confirm the engine family and model-year match against the vehicle listing before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Pioneer states that its expansion plug program includes brass, steel, stainless steel, and threaded options for engine service. PE-108-B uses brass construction for corrosion resistance in the applications shown.
