Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables PE-226 is an engine expansion plug kit intended for cylinder block components service where a steel plug is specified. The zinc-plated steel design supports corrosion resistance while maintaining the strength needed in engine block sealing applications. This part number is listed for a wide range of import vehicles, including Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mitsubishi Galant, Dodge Neon, and Plymouth Laser applications.

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

Common Issues It Can Address

• Leaking or corroded engine block expansion plugs
• Service needs during engine rebuilds
• Replacement of worn steel freeze plugs in the cylinder block
• Repair work on older import engines with rusted block plugs

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine block plug size and application before installation. Clean the bore thoroughly, inspect the sealing surface for corrosion or pitting, and install the plug according to the engine builder’s procedure. Confirm the correct fitment for the vehicle and engine family before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Pioneer supplies expansion plugs in multiple materials for rebuild applications, including steel, brass, stainless steel, and threaded styles. PE-226 uses zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in the specified applications.
