A bypass pipe is simply a means of directing water flow at engine
temperature unrestricted to where it is wanted. eg a water temperature
regulated inlet manifold like on a stock L series. Yes, it does also serve
to equalise pressure either side of the pump but that is not the primary
purpose, and not all engines have a bypass either so that's what the hole is
for.

Am I correct in saying that is what the bypass pipe is for?
