I have two plumbing questions (for now :)  )

 

    1.  Can I put a plug in hole on top of the engine at the front?  I believe Tracy has put an elbow fitting on his and then run 3/8ths inch hose to the high point on the water pump "tower" (for lack of a better term).  I'm not sure if this is required to help "burp" the system of air or not but the prior builder flew it with a water temp / pressure sender in the hole so it is tapped already.

 

    2.  Is there a good way to reduce the 5/8ths inch hose that will be required to exit out the bottom of my Volvo coolant pressure tank to the 3/8ths inch size that is coming out of the high point of my system (at the cap on water pump housing?  I have spend quite a bit of time "on-line" searching for something to use and haven't been able to discover a suitable fitting yet.

 

Thanks for your inputs.
