    Can a "pee-hole" be added?

    My dad's 50 Force doesn't have a "squirt" or commonly called "pee-hole" to show the water pump is working. He has been complaining of this for some time.

    2.5L 200 EFI, less than 20 hrs on engine since rebuild, WSM Pistons. #1 piston failure. Looks like bottom ring spun on piston allowing ring to hang on exhaust port, good-bye top of piston. The ring pin looks broken or pushed into piston. Either way, it allowed for failure. Is this a...
