Re: [DML] Air intake performance

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Have burned my fingers badly enough to blister on another owner's car
(on the intake manifold, believe it or not!) so yes, I've felt hotter.
Am just used to big blocks which never break a sweat. PRV is whole
different world.

Can't recommend bleed line from thermostat housing enough. Makes
filling the system a snap. Guaranteed no problems (provided thermostat
not stuck). Have also rerouted radiator bleed line to a Tee in heater
core return. Never was crazy about downhill run to radiator pipe, but
I guess it works (my pipe now replaced by hose).

Rob Grady sells an all metal radiator for $300 plus.
