what is best to plug the water bypass hose?..in the diy it said to plug them but it doesnt have where he got the plugs from...thanks

you can try to use a small bolt that has the same diameter as the hose.
Oh try not to use oil on the injector o-rings. it will cause them to swell up and fail quickly. use silicone dielectric grease on the o rings and make sure not to get any on the tip of the injector.

good luck!!

I used a bolt to plug the hole. Some coolant still dripped, but not much. Try to keep the end of the hose pointed upward and less will drip.

I wrote the DIY.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.
