^^^ Thats correct.
FWIW make it easy on yourself, take the plug out of the head and install this when the engine is cool and you can squeeze the radiator hose. Keep the rad cap on. This is how I did mine and maybe a few tiny drips of coolant came out.
I've read where people drain the coolant, take the plug out with the rad cap off, etc. Makes a mess.
2259
2277

I was going to mention that too, a few guys on here drilled out the adapter and said it works. I didn't because if it broke on the road I'd be stranded, and fixing that wouldn't be easy with it in the car.
