Very simple really. By martin edridge - 01/16/2001 12:47:19 PM; IP 195.194.51.129 All engines are mass produced and the heads for a V engine are not handed. That is to say that they can be fitted to either bank of the block. The water circulates through the block to cool the engine by entering the front of the block, travelling to the back and then going up into the back of the heads. It then returns to the front of the heads before exiting into the intake manifold where the thermostat housing is located. The water uses the passages at the end of the heads to transfer to the manifold but as the same passages are also at the other end of the heads, they need to be blanked off to assure correct coolant circulation. Doing it this way also guarantees that the heads cannot be fitted the wrong way round, but people still manage to mess up the system by fitting the head gaskets the wrong way! HTH Cheers, Martin.

This thread, so far...
