yea I'll definitely be doing that. just have to decide if i go ahead and return kit or get a couple more brass plugs vs using the steel i have. there is a lot of flaking rust inside i can already see through the water pump holes. anything i can do besides the pressure washer?
i kind of went out of sequence and started pulling parts before i got all the gunk off. should have spent more time getting stuff off before exposing holes. i think I'm going to use the new gaskets as a template to make some covers i can slap on while i continue cleaning.
