LS steam vent kit?
I'd like to use all four vents to help release pressure and help with better flow. I'd to use braided line or something i can easily bend because I have a vent on the back of the valley cover. Towards the rear driver side. I will need to route around that. Id also like to run it under my PMC intakeThanks

I paid too much and got the Kurt Urban kit, mostly because I didn't want to be looking up parts online and maybe get the wrong one, etc and waste time but also because I wanted to ask him some questions and I think his kit is also the only kit where the steam lines come literally straight up from the heads so they should work the best.
Kurt Urban builds some of the craziest LS stuff around too so he should know his stuff.

I took the one off the front and put it on the back. Had to do some bending. I ordered another one today for the front. Im going to run a separate hose from the back to the coolant hose. That way the front and back have their own individual hose running to the coolant line.

I mean I can see it helping with cooling the rear cylinders but to be honest the only reason I do it is that it makes it really easy to bleed the coolant system. You never get air pockets with this setup.

That's what I was thinking as well. I have coolant vacuum filler so I never have issues with air pockets, at least that I noticed.

Havent seen proof and in theory the engine is higher in the front so any air pockets should make it to there. I just did it because it could help, and definitely couldn't hurt. I also use it to bleed the system. Makes it much easier.
