[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1044834, member: 74901"] 5/16" PCV Coolant Loop was intended to warm up PCVValve & a small PCVHeatExchanger on the[S] left[/S] right side of the IntakeManifoldThroat (pic below) on cold starts, but considering Coolant is also cold & location of PCVValve is directly above left ExhaustManifold, it really is a "Rube Goldberg" design, doesn't work as intended & only a source of potential Coolant leaks. Deleted this a while back, live in a colder 9000ft location & have had no issue. Need to follow those 5/16" hoses back around to the right side & also delete associated 5/8~5/16~5/8"PlasticHoseTee & 5/8~5/16~5/8"SteelHoseTee assemblies, then replace with stock 5/8"HeaterHoses.
