I run a -4 braided hose from the heater valve port to the tstat housing.  At
the port I have it restricted down to an 1/8th inch opening.  This is more of
a steam vent then anything with much flow.  Joe(B)

Steve:
I do not block the heater valve port off. I have found that if you block that
port with a plug it restricts the flow of water through and around cylinders
3
and 4. I normally insert a fitting with a nipple, and attach a short piece of
hose routed to the heater pipe on the left side of the engine which comes
from
the water pump housing. On street cars I tell my customers to leave the
heater
valve cracked to aid in the flow of H2O around 3 and 4.
What is the lists take on this?
