The Dorman - Autograde Engine Camshaft Plug (550-027) is a concave steel cup expansion plug that seals the rear camshaft bore. Its mechanical job is simple: it presses into the open rear camshaft bore and forms a press-fit barrier that holds engine oil inside the engine. This box contains 10 steel expansion plugs measuring 1-7/8 in. (1.87 in.) in diameter, sized for a wide range of classic and late-model Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Jeep, and Ferrari engines.

  • Matched fit and function so it is designed to drop into the camshaft bore the way the original plug did.
  • Solid steel build chosen for dependable sealing and a long working life under engine conditions.
  • Concave cup profile that drives in cleanly and locks into the bore for a secure press-fit seal.
  • 10-piece pack gives you spares on hand for the job and future repairs.
  • Intended as a replacement for an original plug that has gone missing or worn out from age and fatigue.

Signs this part may need replacing include oil seepage or wetness around the back of the camshaft area, or finding a corroded, pushed-out, or absent plug during a teardown. If a failed or missing camshaft plug is the cause of the oil loss, this plug replaces it; other gaskets, seals, or bores can leak too, so a professional diagnosis is wise before assuming the plug is the source.

Fits: Plymouth 1957-1989, Dodge 1958-2003, Chrysler 1961-1964 and 1971-1989, Ferrari 1962, Jeep 1970-1998 (V8-4.5L, V8-5.2L, V8-5.6L, V8-5.9L, V12-4.0L). See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.

How do I know if I need a new camshaft plug?

Oil seepage near the rear camshaft, or a corroded, dislodged, or missing plug found during service, may point to a failed plug. Other seals can leak too, so diagnose before assuming.

Is this a direct-fit replacement?

Its dimensions and sealing design are built to mirror the factory camshaft plug, so the 550-027 is designed to press into the rear camshaft bore right where the original sat.

How does the camshaft plug work?

This concave steel cup expansion plug drives into the rear camshaft bore and forms a press-fit seal over the opening to hold engine oil in. It is press-fit, not threaded. The box includes 10 plugs.
