KLZE WATER LINE! HELP PLEASE!!!

Post by puromx3 »

I swapped my DE for the ZE but im having trouble with a small water line
it comes out from where the thermostat is and it ends along side the bottom right hand side radiator hose. right under disty.
my ZE is installed and running. I have this line plugged.
So my question is...where is this line supposed to be connected if even connected at all? what is its purpose?

If anyone could help it would be most appreciated.
thank you.

Just plug it...I noticed on some Curve neck ZE's they have the extra coolant line. Maybe OBD2 overseas or something requiring a cooler on the cars there.

SO I JUST LEAVE IT PLUGGED?
SOMETIMES MY WATER HOSES HAVE BEEN FLATTEN WITH PRESSURE
BUT I'VE NOTICED THAT IT RELEASES PRESSURE FROM THE WATER HOSES WHEN I UNPLUG IT.
IS THIS SOMETHING I SHOULD WORRY ABOUT?

Yeah, I swapped the pipe with the thermostat cover with the one from the K8 since that small water line is welded to it. Then just plugged the hose. My engine like yours is swinging from an engine hoist, so I havent started it to see if theres any problems, but it seems like it should work.
