[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1040531, member: 74901"] Also recommend deleting PCVCoolantLoop, while you're changing Coolant Hoses. PCVCoolantLoop consists of ~ 3 pieces of smaller 5/16"CoolantHose ~ JunkPlastic\Leaky 5/8~5/16~5/8" CoolantTee near the FireWall. ~ Metal 5/8~5/16~5/8" CoolantTee assembly bolted to right side of engine. ~ 5/16"CoolantOxbow around PCVValve that can be easiliy removed. ~ PCVHeatExchanger on right side of IntakeManifoldThroat with 5/16"CoolantBarbs that can be ground off The PCVCoolanLoop is a "RubeGoldberg" design that does NOT work to warm a cold PCVValve considering no coolant flow unless HeaterControlValve is open & that coolant does NOT warm up for several minutes after a cold start.. It's just a useless complication & source of coolant leaks. [/QUOTE]
