I know its been mentioned before, but I figured I would ask again. I was looking to eliminate the coolant hose running from the rear housing to the back of the water pump. I just finished the TB mod, so I was thinking about filling in the coolant nipples with the weld stick and then JB welding them over, like on the TB for the plates. I was just curious if it would hold ok, otherwise I will just run a hose between. Thanks

 

not sure if it will hold, i just grabbed the nipples with locking pliers, twisted, and pulled... came right out



tapped the holes and installed plugs.

 

I just run a hose from the water pump nipple to the nipple on the rear housing.
