Steam Tube seal rings
You gotta be kidding me! The dealer wants like $8 a piece for these and you need 4. Surely someone sells them cheaper....anyone?

Call the local parts stores, I get them for $2 a piece, a few companies make them, the ones I get are by Four Seasons and they are called Sealing Washers. I think the part number is 24355 but I may be off a number.

I bought 14mm oil drain plug sealing washers, white bag from in the back at Advance Auto. $1.29 each. They had them boxed on the floor for $1.89.
I hope these work, I don't want to have to change them after the engine is in the car.

I did similar with mine, except I used a tee fitting in the back of one head. The tee fitting had 1/4" npt on one leg and -6an on the other two legs. Then I just connected the two heads together with a short section of -6an hose. From the head with the tee I have the line going directly to the radiator.
Just worked out a bit cheaper than a y-block setup and it definitely flows more water than the stock setup.
