My next 2 bumps in the road.............
I have a Hydro Boost P/S Pump......................Can I just block off the top spout on the side of the pump?
Its a return line I believe, so it SHOULD be next to no pressure while running................no?? The next thing is,what do you connect that front cross over pipe to? Its the small pipe that connects to the front of the heads. Trying to get this thing road worthy for the puyallup and spokane good guys shows. Thanks in advance. |

Re: My next 2 bumps in the road.............
The pipe on the front of your heads is most likely your steam vent. You will want to run that to a high point in your coolant line. Some drill and tap their water pump and run it there, but I just ran it to a spare port on my radiator.

Hydro boost pumps have one pressure and two returns. You can plug a return with no problems.

for the steam vent, here is an option if you dont want to drill and tap the WP.
