Scott Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm after the union plug thing that is used to return the coolant from the oil cooler into the block (See Pic) and a radiator drain plug. I'm not sure if the one I need is a stock thread or not so just whatever you have would be great. The union I am after is in the top LHS of this pic with the rubber hose attached onto it via a jubilee clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The drain plug you have there ATM (if that's your engine that is, cut off the push on fitting and weld the hole up. Also the pipe that runs around the back of the engine from the water pump to the stock oil cooler, either weld up the end instead of fitting a hole or swap it out for an N/A pipe which only runs up the turbo side of the engine. Doing this illuminates Extra coolant travel which makes the coolant system more efficient and less places for airlocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my water system is ditched. All I have is waterpump - matrix - head Anyway, I've managed to get a union off of my spare engine and John has kindly offered to sort it for me (cheers mate ). Still need a radiator plug if anyone has one, it's definitely not stock. I need the plug from a fluidyne radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
