Default LQ4 Air bleed lines off heads?

Hi there
I've got an LQ4 I'm putting in a landcruiser, I dont know much about the engines and learning as I go, theres a couple of air bleed lines coming off the front of the heads and they connect to the throttle body via a rubber tube and come out the other side on another tube, does any one know what the end of this tube connects to and is it vacuum or coolant? Thanks for any help.

cool thanks mate, yep I've got the metal crossover tube then it goes up to the throttle body and out the other side so thats the bit I was unsure of so that connects up on the the radiator somewhere??

I've just been doing a bit more searching and it comes up with coolant air bleed so I guess its a steam vent from the heads or something?
