Yet another piston question

[glhman]

Still not sure how to run the lines. I've seen several theories about where to run them. Any links to a pic related how to site?

Any other thoughts about cast pistons?

after blowing out head gasket and head, definitly going with the cooling mod. the gasket at no. 4 was the worst. egt is there but couldnt read temp properly due to coolant exiting the exaust onto probe. reccomended for any type of pistons.

interested in picts also. i believe you tap into the pump after the impeller and tap into the head where the 3/8 inch frost plug is. correct??????

To quote Ken from another Cast vs Forged thread-

"No, That is a different mod. Joe O'Conner's. That is NOT a street car.

basic mod is drill and tap a hole in the waterpump housing AFTER the impeller. Run a line up from it to the Drivers side of the head. Pumps COOL coolant into that area"

He suggested 3/8 line would be fine.

the frost plug i was referring to is on the drivers side of the head.
