Move the water pipe after the water pump, either make a hose or weld a different angle on it so its not so close to exhaust manifold. Smallest diameter water pump pulley?

That bolt+washer thing is really ****ing clever. John, du ?r inte alltid s? dum som du luktar.
i may be overthinking this but, if block vibration/squirming whatever you want to call it is contributing to this as previously suggested. would it not be worth while trying to strengthen/brace the weaker areas of the block eg around core plug height etc. or by way of vibration dampening? just a thought
someone answer the thermostat question.
Olov.....would take some time to figure which plug had the pressure. When mine failed the first time....I lost the rear 2 on exhaust and forward on the intake side. There were 3 others that were flush with the block and not even with the chamfer. You have a good idea about tapping the block....but from what I'm seeing...the bores are very close to the plugs so you'd almost need to start the hole...the cut the die up and finish tapping. And with my engine installed....a bit more work than what I wanted. And the valve is only 3/8 pipe.....any larger and the solenoids get huge.
5 extra holes in the gasket? Metal ones already have them drilled.
