Default Which Holes Can Be Plugged


Looking to clean up my engine bay and was curious if I can plug any of the ports on the water pump

If you dont have a heater core or are planing on deleting the oil cooler you can plug them all. I used brass freeze plugs look the cleanest IMO. But you can also use rubber plugs with clamps.

As above, it depends on what you want to keep working. You don't say.

Ya sorry, I still have the heater core, but no oil cooler. So I can plug the one on the right side with no issues?

The f-body pump is the only one with that port, anyway. No issues with it closed off.
