I am stripping down my 318 engine.
I am trying to remove the water pump housing and in the middle of the housing there is a threaded plug with what appears to be a keyway. It looks like a lock.
If someone could explains this to me it would be appreciated. |

I dont see it being an attachment for anything,but this is the 1st time I am stripping an engine down.
It looks like a cylinder core for a lock with an opening that you would put a key in.
It has to come off in order to get the water pump housing off. I will have to use a screwdriver and see what happens.

That might simply (?) be an automotive coolant outlet that's not needed and plugged off.
