62 TR4. I am hearing that to do so I need to block off the bypass hose.<br>
I'd like to keep the stock look of the bypass hose installed. Is there a<br>
particular plug or bung that folks have used to insert into the bypass<br>
opening on the water pump housing or thermostat housing that is effective. <br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
