Back of engine steam relief
I was reading many threads about connecting the back water ports on the intake manifold to the front water ports to relieve any steam build up. It makes sense to me so I decided to order some fittings + hose. I was planning on running -6 an ss hose with russel stainless fittings.
My question is I am still running a circulating pump and a thermostat..Will this be ok ..I do not have a bypass and I do not plan on getting one. They cause problems when the water temps are 50 degrees Northern NY in the spring season. The thermostat gets confused open close open close etc...
Thanx

Thanks for your replies. I can't see any harm in doing this if anything it would relieve air trapped. While the circulating pump or a bypass setup is pushing water into the block how do we know it is getting to every spot around the each cylinder especially if there is air being trapped. With this connection I think it would a more even flow.. In through the block front and up out both ports back to the t'stat housing/circulating pump in.
