The red line indicates where the water/coolant level was when
I removed the thermostat.
OK, I see what you
meant. If you're going to go to the trouble of installing a plug at the
high point, why not put in a hose instead, and run it to the side fitting on
your exp tank? Put the plug in the lower one that you're using
now.

I was thinking that the plug that I would install in the
-16AN elbow on top of the waterpump would be only for filling the system, but
it would appear that if the hose went from the side of the expansion tank to
that "highest point of the engine" fitting, as coolant came out of the bottom
of the expansion tank and into the lower water pump inlet, it would fill the
system, and the air/bubbles would come out of that highest point and go into
the side of the expansion tank. Should work. Thanks,
Rusty. Hey....your panel looks pretty neat with your new monitor
from Tracy. Glad to hear you'll be making noise again soon.
I, too am anxious to hear your comparisons of your normally aspirated versus
the previous turbo'd installation. Take care. Paul
