Lock Technology 8-Piece Tapered Plug Stoppers (868)

Description

The Lock Technology 8-Piece Tapered Plug Stoppers (868) is an essential tool for automotive professionals and enthusiasts alike. Designed to protect an engine’s internal components during maintenance, these plugs provide a simple yet effective way to prevent costly damage. The primary function of the LT868 stoppers is to seal empty spark plug holes, creating a barrier that stops foreign debris from entering the piston combustion chamber. This is crucial for avoiding an expensive engine tear-down to remove contaminants. The plugs are especially useful for overhead cam engines, where the extra-long handles make it easy to reach and secure the holes. Beyond their use in spark plug ports, these versatile stoppers can also be used to plug AC and oil lines, making them a multi-purpose addition to any toolbox.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Engine Protection: The stoppers securely plug empty spark plug holes, preventing dirt, dust, and other debris from entering the combustion chamber.
• Cost-Effective: By keeping foreign objects out of the engine, the LT868 helps you avoid a costly engine tear-down and related repair expenses.
• Designed for Overhead Cams: The extra-long handles are specifically engineered for easy use on overhead cam engines, where access to the spark plug holes can be difficult.
• Multi-Use Tool: These plugs are not limited to just spark plug holes; they can also be used to cap off AC and oil lines during maintenance.
• Complete Set: The kit includes 8 individual plugs, providing you with a full set for most engine types.
