You might JB weld a plug in there as is. if you do tap there might be room to put something down in there to catch the shards then pull em out with a pencil magnet or pull the impeller pump itself so you can get in the housing & catch em that way

Maybe I am overthinking this whole thing. While I agree with all the above threads on easily repairing the casting. Consider it's also an easily replace part. If you go through the trouble of removing it. Unless there are dates on it you are interested it. I'd just replace it with another used unit.

Glad I started this thread. Maybe I am overthinking this whole thing. I don't even want to connect the heater hoses up. I was just planning on putting the nipples on and then capping the nipples. Would there be a easier way to just seal up the holes? I am worried that tapping the hole is going to be more complex then I originally planned. Looking at the hole you can see where part of the hole was already damaged. After listening to the guys on hear I am worried I am always going to have problems with it leaking. If you aren't going to connect the hose up , or even do it in the future then just coat a plug with JB Weld , after leaning the threads of any foreign substance and screw it in till it stops and let it cure.
running up my post count some more .
