Product Details

This Pioneer Cables PE-218-R expansion plug kit is intended for engine block sealing service where a worn or leaking plug needs replacement. The steel design uses fine-grained, cold-rolled construction for strength, while the zinc plating helps resist corrosion in demanding engine environments. It is a direct-fit service part for 1983-1987 Isuzu Impulse, 1983-1987 Isuzu Pickup, and 1984-1985 Isuzu Trooper applications.

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

Common Repair Uses

• Sealing a leaking engine block expansion plug
• Replacing corroded or damaged cylinder block plugs
• Restoring coolant system sealing during engine rebuilds
• Addressing seepage found during block inspection

Installation Notes

Verify the engine block opening size and application before installation. Clean the bore thoroughly, remove corrosion or old sealant residue, and inspect the surrounding block surface for damage. Proper seating is important for a reliable seal on Isuzu Impulse, Isuzu Pickup, and Isuzu Trooper engine service.

Quality Assurance

Pioneer Cables supplies expansion plugs in multiple materials, including steel, stainless steel, brass, and threaded styles, for engine rebuild applications. PE-218-R uses steel construction with corrosion-resistant zinc plating for service durability.
