Default Coolant Vent Line Alternative

In the final stages of installing the 427. Decided to run the engine coolant vent lines under the plenum in 5/16 SS tubing. More secure than running it in hose.

I like that.. I assume you had to add ports to the IH for the coolant lines

Yes, the same area where the coolant sensor ports are located. The casting is quite thick there. Intended for pipe thread fittings.

Beautiful phil. You obviously understand the design intent of providing an escape path for the steam. Lotus meant for their to be a vent in this circuit. Love what you’ve done.

An elegant solution Phil, dispensing with the secondaries I see... but then why would a 427 need them in the first place.

Secondaries? We ain’t got no secondaries. We don’t need no stinking secondaries!
