Sounds right to me. By Dave Shoe - 05/26/2004 6:58:28 PM; IP 12.2.11.190 THe front banana slotds in the block are apparently there to support the sand cores securely during casting. They are sure not there to provide coolant flow.Water flows through the engine from the water pump into the front of the block, to the back of the block, up into the head, forward in the head, into the intake manifold, and out to the radiator. If you allowed coolant to flow up front in the block, the rear of the engine would tend to get stagnant coolant that would get too hot. The little hole is in the gasket to bleed trapped air or steam when necessary, since a little bit of flow in that area is just fine. Shoe.

This thread, so far...
