Core Plug - Cylinder Head A 7/8" diameter core plug (welch/expansion plug) that seals a casting core hole in the cylinder head.

It closes the openings left in the head's coolant passages by the casting process and acts as a frost plug, giving way to relieve pressure should the coolant freeze. Used on four-cylinder diesel engine applications.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cylinder head core plug for?
The 7/8 inch cylinder head core plug (250830) seals a casting core hole in the cylinder head's coolant passages. It also acts as a frost plug, designed to push out and relieve pressure if the coolant freezes, helping protect the head from cracking.
Which engines does this 7/8 inch core plug fit?
This 7/8 inch core plug (250830) fits the four-cylinder diesel cylinder heads used on Land Rover Series 2 and 3 and Defender up to 2006. Confirm the plug diameter matches the recess in your head before fitting.
Why do cylinder head core plugs need replacing?
Cylinder head core plugs typically fail through internal corrosion, weeping coolant around the edge or after being pushed out by frost. Replacing them during a head overhaul is common practice, since access is easy with the head off and a leak later means removing it again.
How many core plugs are usually needed?
A cylinder head usually has several core plugs of differing sizes. This 7/8 inch plug covers one size only, so check how many 7/8 inch openings your head has and whether other diameters are also needed before ordering.
