LS steam tubes??

[Rod]

a quicky question about the steam tubes on the heads on your LS swaps, How many of you are still using them, and why are they needed?

I don't know why you wouldn't want to use them honestly. Their purpose is to remove air pockets from the high side of the water jacket in the heads to help prevent hot spots on the heads thus preventing spark knock. I hope this helps!

What Geoff said. I would like to get the original LS6 one that has one outlet from all 4 locations. Evidently it isn't available any more. I don't wanna put plugs/caps on the back ones.

awesome thanks for the info!! it seems to be an overlooked part/setup in all the swap explanations I have looked at, OK beers for everyone!!
