Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables PE-118-R is part of Pioneer’s expansion plug program for engine rebuilders and cylinder block service. This steel plug uses fine-grained, cold rolled steel construction and a zinc plated finish to help resist corrosion in demanding engine environments. It is a practical choice for restoring sealing points in the engine block on vehicles such as the Buick LeSabre, Buick Skylark, Buick Regal, and Pontiac Bonneville.

Compatible With 1966-1980 Buick LeSabre, 1973-1977 Buick Century, 1973-1977 Buick Regal, 1966-1972 Buick Skylark, 1975-1976 Buick Skylark, 1977-1978 Buick Riviera, 1978-1980 Pontiac Bonneville, 1978-1980 Pontiac Catalina, 1980 Pontiac Laurentian, and 1980 Pontiac Parisienne. PE-118-R is intended for engine block expansion plug replacement during rebuild or repair procedures.

What It Helps Solve

  • Leaking or corroded engine block expansion plugs
  • Sealing issues found during engine rebuilds
  • Replacement needs on older Buick and Pontiac cylinder blocks
  • Corrosion-related service problems in cooling system sealing points

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the block bore carefully before installation and clean away rust, scale, and old sealant. Verify the plug size and seating surface match the application before pressing or driving the plug into place. Use standard engine assembly practices for block sealing and cooling system service.

Quality Assurance

Pioneer offers a complete expansion plug program in steel, stainless steel, brass, and threaded styles for engine rebuild applications. PE-118-R follows that product line with steel construction and zinc plating for corrosion resistance.
