Detailed Description

It supports common engine block service tasks on Chevrolet and Ford engines where expansion plugs are used to close casting openings and maintain coolant system integrity.

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the plug bore thoroughly before installation and inspect the block opening for pitting, distortion, or debris. Match the plug material to the application requirements, and verify proper seating depth during installation to help maintain a secure seal. The PE-220 should be selected by engine block opening size and application requirements rather than by vehicle trim or position.
