Engine Expansion Plug
An engine expansion plug, often referred to as a freeze plug or core plug, is a small, round disc-shaped component used to seal the holes in an engine's block or cylinder head. These plugs are primarily designed to prevent the engine coolant from freezing and damaging the engine block during cold temperatures. Additionally, they play a role in the casting process of the engine block, serving as a temporary seal during manufacturing. Engine expansion plugs are commonly installed in various locations throughout the engine, including the sides of the engine block and the cylinder head.

Choosing the correct engine expansion plug is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your engine's cooling system. The size and type of expansion plug needed can vary depending on your vehicle's make, model, and engine configuration. It's essential to measure the diameter of the hole where the expansion plug will be installed accurately. Common sizes include the 7/8 expansion plug, which is used in many applications. Ensuring a proper fit and seal is essential to prevent coolant leaks and potential engine damage.
