Heater Hose Plumbing I have an LS1 in my sandrail and am about ready to fire it up.
I still have to either cap off the heater ports or loop them, Can anyone offer the best approach?
Is getting the air out of the motor a problem?

As long as you have the steam line plumbed to a point of the radiator (or other area) higher than the motor you should be good. You won't have any problem with trapped air but I'd loop it off rather than cap each.

First things first... I WANT AN LS1 Sandrail! Thats freakin awsome! I think I know what I plan to do in the future! As for the steamline(s)... ya know how they say, "you learn something new every day!"... well, I learned my something already now... does that mean I can check out until tomorrow? Or does that mean I might learn more than normal today?
