so i shouldnt worry about putting antifreeze in the block? i was just gonna pour some in the location where the sensor goes to make sure there is some in the block for the first start up.

heres a teaser =)

it is one system, it will flow through the block on its own, just pour in the radiator. nice intake

EDIT: what cai is that?

Is there any advantage to one system over the other? By that I mean breather over pcv or vice versa? I think I may plug my rear pcv hole and cap the vaccum and run breathers on the valve covers for a cleaner look. anyone else doing this?

^see, thats what I'm afraid of. I think I'm just gonna run another pcv as well. I hate that they put a hole in our valve covers

hmm, what if I bought another one of these http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=1411 and ran it to a t with my other one, then up to the pcv vacuum? Then I plugged the pcv hole? how does that sound?(just trying to think of options.)

yes, that should work, but i am not 100% sure.

I would ask a specific Tech question about it.
(that way i can see too )


99% of the reason i will be running 2 PCV's is because I screwed up and bought the wrong valve covers.
