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.

Re: Coolant Vent Line Alternative
I like that.. I assume you had to add ports to the IH for the coolant lines

Re: Coolant Vent Line Alternative
Yes, the same area where the coolant sensor ports are located. The casting is quite thick there. Intended for pipe thread fittings.

Re: Coolant Vent Line Alternative
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.

Re: Coolant Vent Line Alternative
An elegant solution Phil, dispensing with the secondaries I see... but then why would a 427 need them in the first place.

Re: Coolant Vent Line Alternative
Secondaries? We ain’t got no secondaries. We don’t need no stinking secondaries!
