Core Plugs: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Thoroughly clean core plug bore, remove all of the old sealer.
  1. Coat the edges of the engine core plug and the core plug bore with Mopar Gasket Maker, or equivalent.
    NOTE: It is not necessary to wait for the sealant to cure on the core plugs. The cooling system can be filled and the vehicle returned to service immediately.
  2. Using proper plug driver, drive core plug into the core plug bore. The sharp edge of the core plug should be at least 0.50 mm (0.020 in.) inside the lead in chamfer.
  3. Refill the cooling system (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE--REFILLING COOLING SYSTEM 4.7L ).
