Default Re: TB coolant crossover,any disadvantages?

See Item #4 LT5 Eliminated Systems

As Scrrem shows above The associated two IH coolant ports in the IH should also be plugged on each side.

Total six coolant ports plugged One each side TB, One each side Plenum, One each side Injector Housing.

See (Filling With Coolant and the Air Locked Water Pump) for Detailed New Coolant Filling Trick.

You do not have to wait over night Hoping you heated the water pump area up enough to draw coolant into the area of the water pump impeller by running without coolant flow the night before. I used this proceedure to make sure I did not have an Air Locked Water Pump which has nothing to do with TB Coolant Blocked since this proceedure was used before I ever blocked my TB Coolant



Remove TB Coolant hose and tubing left and right side of plenum and plug hose return to coolant tank passenger side See Brass Cap just above the "T" On Passenger Side. Initial Coolant Fill may be somewhat affected by the TB Coolant Elimination (see item #4 Initial Coolant Fill). The "T" connects the top of the radiator Air Vent, TB Coolant Return, and Coolant Reservoir in front of Passenger side. With the TB Coolant Return Blocked, what is left is a coolant line from the Radiator Air Vent to the Passenger Side Coolant Reservoir.
