Cylinder Block Plug - sealing plug fitted to the cylinder block casting.

The plug closes a machined port in the block, sealing the casting so that the internal galleries hold pressure. Plugs of this type are disturbed during engine strip-down and block machining work and are renewed on reassembly rather than refitted.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cylinder block plug used for?
The cylinder block plug seals a machined port in the cylinder block casting so the internal galleries hold pressure. Plugs of this type are disturbed during engine strip down and block machining work, and they are renewed on reassembly rather than refitted.
How many cylinder block plugs are needed for the job?
Two per vehicle on the Defender 1987 to 2006 and the Discovery 2 with the 2.5L turbo diesel, according to the parts listing. Order both when the block is being stripped, since replacing one and leaving the other in place typically means going back into the engine later.
Which engines use this cylinder block plug?
It is listed for the 2.5L turbo diesel in the Defender 1987 to 2006 and the Discovery 2 1998 to 2004, and for the 2.0L diesel in the Freelander 1 1996 to 2006. Engine type decides fitment here rather than model year, so check the engine before ordering.
Can a cylinder block plug be reused?
No, these are typically single use. The sealing face deforms on first fitting, so a refitted plug usually weeps once the gallery is back under pressure. Replace them as standard any time the block has been stripped, machined or cleaned out.
