So far, my questions are as follows:


2)   On the water pump housing where the thermostat is installed,
there is a tubular bypass channel that returns to the water pump
intake. I have read that if you remove the thermostat, this channel
needs to be plugged. Best method? JB?

Hi Dave,

This is the only one I'm sure I know the correct answer for.  The most
common practice is to tap the hole for a pipe thread and use a pipe
plug.  3/8 NPT is the best size I believe.  Good luck whith your
rebuild.
