Default Water pump off
Well I have the water pump off and was able to remove the lower heater hose fitting. The resulting hole is almost 3/4" so looks like I will be tapping it for a 1/2" -14 NPT plug. Having trouble buying a tap because of the Holiday.

Question: when I reinstall the new gaskets on the water pump (both sides of the backing plate) and the thermo housing, should I apply any gasket sealer or just install dry. Also bought a new Stant 180 degree thermostat. I will drill a 3/16 hole at 12 o'clock before installing.
