Hey all,
I tried searching all over for a simple answer to a stupid question. First of all as you can see in my profile, i'm a 26 year old novice trying to rebuild a bugeye.
I saw that moss sells a stock probably rebuilt water pump that has a bypass hose inlet. I also saw that spritemania has a no bypass pump. My engine currently has a stock cylinder head with a bypass outlet to the water pump. the outlet is deteriorated and will need to be fixed. the questions are, do i need a bypass? what is better, bypass or no bypass? If no bypass, is there a way to plug the outlet from the cylinder head? If yes bypass, is there a way to repair the damaged outlet?
I would really appreciate some simple direction.
Thanks
