Explanation:
Augusto, aquí te paso una buena definición donde se explica el funcionamiento de los "core plugs", de acuerdo a eso la que te sugiero podría ser una traducción bastante adecuada:

tapón de seguridad


Explanation:
Core plug
A metal plug located in the sides of the engine block which can pop out because of excessive pressure or freezing and prevent the engine block from cracking.
Dada esta definición, podemos considerar este tapón como "de seguridad" ya que tapando el "cuerpo" del motor impide que este se resquebraje ante una presión excesiva.
