with having a much larger cooling system is it going to require a beefier water pump or a 2nd inline one??

Next I wanted to rebuild the head, so chucked it ina mates parts washer for an hour then set about with 'Frosts' Ally cleaner. Did this about 10 times until the finish was mint. Didn't want to paint it as it just doesn't look right..
