Can I bypass..

Yeah guess who is the "mechanic buddy" around here LOL
You got it!
However I'm more like $150 for friends on a 5.0 waterpump and $300 for customers LOL


I forgot about the other two studs, I was not counting the driver and passenger
LOL
The lower intake manifold has a couple of studs that go into the water jacket also, I fought one of those for 3 months!!! Once a hardened drill bit breaks off in a hole you are totally screwed....in hindsight it would have been faster to just pull engine and take to machine shop........

I do 99% of my (and my family's) repairs, but some things just aren't worth my aggravation and time. $125 is the "friends" price.
