JokersWild Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 What is the coolant lines that run through your intake are for? Can they be deleted? Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 They warm the intake during the cold and keep the intake the same temp as the block. The gasket doesn't provide for efficient thermal transfer. I wouldn't delete them, though the engine would still run in average temps... 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Why do people always want to delete stuff????? Carburetors only mix fuel droplets and air. On the way to the combustion chamber it's expected to vaporize or it won't burn. In order to vaporize, heat is absorbed from it's surroundings. The coolant passages provide a warmer manifold than if there were none, increasing mileage and promoting better running. In August, under hood temperatures can rise above boiling point. Here the coolant passages absorb heat, keeping the intake temperature more stabilized. The engine will run like it's June all year round. 1 Quote Link to comment
