coolant lines?

[blackbird1084]

Ok is it possible to run without the coolant lines that go across the back of the heads? I was taking those lines off and was trying to get the hose off the radiator when the plastic that hose slides on to broke. I need to know asap.

You need the airbleed pipe/steam line from the two head to the plastic T or you will overheat. It's part of the LT1 mystique.

But it really isnt a steam line/airbleed pipe a decent amount of coolant flows threw it.

Posting C4 info IOT give you some ideas.


On a stock 95 C-4 it runs threw the throttle body Red hose and then to this t-the is connected to radiator and surge tank.

But it seems like there are numerous configurations since my buddies 92 Vette is different and so's my Impala SS


Good luck

I'm pretty sure you can't. Time to get the side tanks for the radiator replaced. A radiator shop should charge around $50-$75 to do it.

Well crap I guess I'll have to get it fixed. I hope the local rad shop can do it pretty quick or might have to over night a new one.
