Hi All,

On these cold days, I got to thinkin' about the wife's
GT6.  It's a slightly warmed up MK2 engine(block is
decked at least) When we first took possesion of it,
it had a hose running from the valve cover to the side
of a radiator overflow bottle & then vented to the
air.  I'm assuming this would catch any oil AND tend
to cool the engine(some)?  The vacuum port on the
intake was plugged & the PCV valve was gone.  Wanting
to keep it original, I put the PCV valve back in the
loop & did away with the overflow bottle.  

I noticed that it was running hot.  Honestly, I don't
remember if it was prior to that, but I don't think it
was.  Could this be a method of keeping an engine
cool?

TIA,
