what is the i.d of the large relief valve ?

Smooth,
We closed down the water pick up slot in the IMCO lower (welded). My suggestion is to use some Bondo/epoxy at the front of the slot until you get the pressure at about 15 lbs, then weld to match. Ben |

We agree with Ben, 15# is a good number. The head gaskets will be happier. In fact, the typical radiator has a 15# cap. The block drain cock and head gaskets see a similar pressure. Subject to build tolerances, some like to see maximum volume, cold as possible @ 15# . |
