Hey guys so far the car is coming along nicely. I have 2 hoses that dont seems to blow clear through and I did have some rust issues in my cooling before any suggestions? help? Do they not open until operating temperature?

Is there any sign of fluid ever being there? Or does it look bone dry like nothing has passed through it in ages?

Coolant lines on intake manifold can be bypassed. Unless you see sub freezing temps regularly, forget it.

Probably just really clogged. See if you can get pipe cleaner or some wire or something up there.

Yes I tried putting wire through it and even hooked up a compressor and blasted to no success. Any other suggestions? I just did a lot of work to the max and I kind of want to be **** about getting this rust **** done with in my cooling system.

Well it as someone else stated it i believe they are just the lines for the manifold cooling. Unless you live somewhere were it gets extremely cold (up north) you don't need it. But if you really want to have it as its suppose to be the trace to the other end and reconnect the cooling system and you should be set.

You will need to loop the hard line dipple back into something else since it goes to cabin heater!
