im doing an EWP, and im wondering what you block off the hole in your timing cover from the WP drive with?

i have it from a very good source that you can use just a 50 cent piece and some JB weld, but im wondering if theres anything "prettier" to use... not to mention i dont have a 50 cent piece handy..

 

take it to a machine shop and have it tig welded closed. cheap and easy

 

Go to the parts store, get a freeze plug and JB weld it in.

Check this out, he had a good idea

I am not really seeing what your talking about on that page.

 

Take a 1/2 pipe plug tap and run it in the hole. Buy a pipe plug, add some thread sealant and screw it in.

 

Thats a pretty good idea, I think I'll try that

 

There you go, fixed the link for that guy

I used a $1 coin and some 'Right Stuff' silicone

I just took the coupling off and left the water pump shaft sticking out of the timing cover. That is until I do H/C.

 

freeze plug here

 

Thats what i did. Is this ok?

 

waiting - I'll be doing an EWP and would like to leave the timing cover sealed if possible.
Will it hurt/leak?

Also do I need a shorter belt now? Anyone know the part number?
A used CSR pump in a housing coming to me....

 

No, the LT1 waterpump is not belt driven.
