T/B Bypass hose question???????
T/B Bypass hose question??????? Does the bypass line that goes between the heads and through the throttle body HAVE to go back to the radiator?
I saw a LS1 in a 68 Camaro a couple of weeks ago that had simply capped it off before it went into the t/b and there was no line to the radiator.
Thoughts?

it has to go somewhere, whether it be back to the radiator, surge tank, etc. it purges air from the heads. you cannot cap it off. when the engine is running you there is a steady flow of coolant that flows from the crossover.
What I did was I tapped it back into the heater core return line. This is how Ford does it on alot of it's older cars. If you can find a large enough T you can also tap it into the coolant return from the waterpump. Shouldn't have a problem to do eithor way.

I appreciate the link back to the other discussion.
Here is the weird part. I called the local guy with the LS1 68 Camaro last night. He has put a ton of miles on the car since the conversion and had ZERO overheating problems.
I was wondering if it could be used like a air bleeder when first getting the coolant in the motor. Once it is all burped out, it could be plugged off.

i suppose it could, but how would you know when you have all the air out?
i mean, its a sealed system, so even if the coolent temp is a cool 180*, that small area in the top of the head could have air/steam in a pocket, and is currently approching 280+.... even with your gauge reading a fine 180*......
