Reply to "Snapped bolt in block - how deep can this be drilled?"

And while everything's off the front of your engine, now's the time to relocate the temp sender to the correct location in the block. Remove the 1/4" pipe plug from the block just above the water pump and mount your temp sender there. You'll get more accurate temperature readings. And put a radiator petcock into the temp sender mounting bung in the coolant tank where it was originally mounted. Then, if you need to change a water pump or thermostat in the future, you merely open that petcock to drain the top half of your cooling system.

Cheers!
Garth
