True, but this is more of a core concept of head warping not being good.

JBJ, I hear you, but really, comparing anything on a historic US of A V8 and a German 1.8 has got to be a stretch.

Hey experts, will the water pump blow out coolant if the thermostat is closed upon cold start up, in this scenario of removing the outlet pipe?

when the engine is cold, there is no coolant flow through the system. that's because the thermostat is closed. coolant starts flowing when the coolant gets hot enough inside the block to open the thermostat.
