Default Coolant Pipework ?

Hope someone out there can advise ?

Where do the following go too or come from..........I'm not running a Heater as it's a Track Car.

1) The inlet/outlet on a 4WD Water Pump - it sits at about 8o'clock position and has an ID of about 8-10mm.

2) The very small inlet/oulet on a 4WD Thermostat Housing - it sits at the top exits on the left-hand side at about the 9o'clock position and has an ID of about 4mm.......can I loose this/block it off ?

3) And finally - I have three returns/outlets to my Header Tank:-
One is from the top of my Swirl Pot (no problem), one comes back to the Header Tank via my Turbo Cooler. But where is the larger bore outlet supposed to feed ?

So many questions, so I do appologise

Any piccies, the heater output from the water pump can be blocked off as can the head stub where the heater outlet end sup.

Hi Tabetha,

The cars away having a rewire at the moment so unfortunately no pics to help.

But thanks for the input.........

So that's the Water Pump outlet not required - but what goes to the the water thermostat at the back top right-hand side of the block, where the blue plug is ?

I've done way with the oil heater section that usually feeds from there to the oil filter as I was going to run a small oil cooler

Again, any help would be fantastic.

That can also be blocked off.
