Just an observation but that rubber plug for the heater hose nipple is cracking. It's under pressure. If it blows and you are standing over the motor you are going to get a face full of hot coolant. Not to mention that you are probably not wearing safety glasses. 2nd degree burns on the face and possible blindness is not worth it. Pull the pump and weld up those hose nipples.
