Oil Cooler Lines/Thermostat housing

[Alan Kramer]

I would only cap the lines after removing the thermostat from the housing.   
That's going to be a pain if you have a stock exhaust manifold, but the 
thermostat housing comes off easy enough.

I take it you know that Aeroquip makes M18x1.5 to AN adapters.  I wouldn't 
recommend gluing anything either.
