Re: air bleed with plenum coolant bypass
I may be wrong, but it appears to me that the crossover hose set is only brought up to circulate hot water around the throttle body. THAT I bypassed when I bought the car new. I just ran a rubber hose under the plenum to connect back to the tank. I like the look of plugging the water ports. It looks to me that the large coolant return tubes carry coolant back to the upper radiator hoses from the same place as the TB heating hoses. There would be no air pocket as the main returns are located in the same place. I would rather cool down the plenum and ram tubes as much as possible.
