Tapping LS water pump outlets

mna0121 · Dec 27, 2015

Remove factory pipes using Vice grips, work them back and forth, they will come right out. No drilling required. The correct NPT tap sizes are 3/8-18 and 1/2-14. Use lubrication, start the taps straight and check your depths against the plugs. Teflon plug threads and your done, takes about 20 min. Hope this helps someone RTR

Yep, I have actually got it in the rig needing plumbing and electrical, then off to JJ's for a set of custom headers. Lots of stuff to change going from the cranking stand to the engine compartment. I have assumed most of the farm duties, have a regular job and a business so not a lot of spare time and just started a twin turbo first gen Chevy II project. My mom took my dad to the ER earlier today while I fed cows. So far just test so I am staying home to feed in the morning. We live close to the river but high and dry for now but staying on call to any neighbors needing a hand moving to higher ground. RTR
