That is a vent to get the air out of the top of the engine.

Early cars had vents on the front and back of the engine. Now most just have them on the front.

There are a lot of opinions on whether they are needed. A number of members sucessfully block all 4 with no problems. Quite a number of people don't think that is a good idea because of the potential for hot spots from air being trapped in the top of the head.

Most people plumb the front vents to another point in the cooling system. Either to the radiator, a fitting tapped into the water pump, or T it into a heater hose or main radiator line.

On a truck motor there is a nipple on the radiator for it. A hose runs from the front driver side port to one side of the throttle body. Then a hose runs from the throttle body to the radiator.

it's better to connect this line in a return radiator hose.. the upper hose of the rad!


EDIT: someone have the flow diagram of the water on a LS2 6.0L ? thanks.

On my 69 camaro, i have a oem style radiator, and didnot have any extra water tank. I need to full my rad at about 90% and the rest is for the expantion of the prestone.

Whit an LSX, i can run the same rad at the same level, or i must add an extra water tank for the prestone expantion and full the rad at 100% when cold?...

Thanks for your help!
