Reroute - Plugging nipple
2 Attachment(s)
Enclosed is an attachment demonstrating my latest little problem.
When I remove the item with the red arrow pointing to it, what do I use to block off the resulting coolant passage? |
a bolt.... like the one above it. or, you leave it in for the oil cooler. you could just put a nipple and clamp on it if you want the easy way out.

It's interfering with the fit for the Kia water neck, I have an alternative source for the oil cooler. Are you 100% certain it is a threaded hole, and NOT a press fit?

Looks like a picture of my head :).
Anyway, leave it where it is. It's 100% a press fit, NOT a threaded hole. |

So guys. Guys. GUYS!
If I leave the oil cooler lines in, is that sufficient flow to not have to drill the thermostat if I do a no-heater reroute? JasonC SSB mentioned it being enough in a post a few years back, I'm just trying to confirm. |
probably. but why so against just adding a tiny hole?
|
I'd rather just be able to drop in a stock thermostat rather than have to drill them, Brainy.
