I flushed my coolant system and repaired two leaking soft plugs.
While I was at it , I changed the thermostat and removed the water pump to check the impellar clearence. Problem is, now I have a leak either coming from the thermostat or the water pump top area.
Are the bolts for the thermostat blind holes, what about the water pump? I ran a tap into all the holes and blew them out with air, seemed like they pressured up, but maybe there was a through hole sometimes I'm kinda dense. By the way, this engine is a 1963 OHV 170.
Thanks
