my waterpump weep hole mod to keep it off the new opti.
im using a vacuum hose about 18" in length to route the flow to the driver's side of the block.
here is what $400 of plastic looks like
****** slid in EASY into the splines. all it needed was a little jolt to go all the way since i didnt fully clean the cam splines.

im about to mount the pump, i need to let the thread sealer for the bolts cure overnight before i fire it up and fill the pump/radiator.
yes, you do need to tap the weep hole. i used a 1/8ths by 17 thread tap.

nooooooooooo, never happens 
I'm going to keep an eye on how this works out and holds up. The garage queen could use a nice little mod like this so the opti stays lit - I'd hate to have to swap it out because it sat too long then have condensation shoot it to hell again.
