There was a thread a while back where a guy ran the hoses wrong and pumped all his coolant into his engine. If I recall he ended up replacing the Engine.

The hood seal WILL keep 10 lbs. of road debris, dust and water off your engine. That you can take to the bank.

i just put on a shaner tb and did this mod while i had everything apart. cost $.78 for a piece of 1/4" hose, $.99 for a 1/4" joint ( not mj ), 2 1/4" vacuum plugs and 2 hose clamps. first thing i noticed is that the car now idles at 800 like it should. it was resting at 1200 and then after coming to a full stop, dropping to 800.
