Default Re: Water/coolant blocked

If you look closely at the heads, they are ... the same.
There isn't a right and left.
It is more economical and efficient for the company to make one head casting and use it for both sides.

Unless you intend to put another thermostat housing and radiator hose at the back of the engine, those passages are not needed. Another way to look at it is that if those were connected at the back, you would probably have a real messed up water flow through the engine.

Thus the block off plates.
