Plugging Off Heater Hose and Water Inlet Hose Plugs


Bigbrowndog

Recommended Posts

I have a Winter Racing Motor and the outlets at the front and back passenger side of the motor (on the water inlet and rear for the heater hose) are plugged shut. I am guessing doing so is okay, but want to make sure before I do the same on a stock 2.4L autocross motor.

 

There must not be any need or benefit of circulating water through the heater hose on the outside. My only concern is really rear head cooling. Appreciate your thoughts.

 

Thx

Here's a good thread on the issue.  There's a lot out there on the topic if you're a good Googler.

It was also discussed here, and this one even ends up with a nice FZ reference!

 

Tony D also backed up his assertions with real data - take a look at post #405 in the thread that NewZed referenced.
