So I hate to clog up the internet with more boring posts like this but I'm out of luck...

This coolant hose connects to the side of the head, branches off to a smaller line from a "T" fitting, and both ends continue around to the back of the head.

The T fitting got brittle and broke, I've had no luck finding a replacement. Though I might be able to jury rig it for awhile, the T fitting is an awkward size.

So my question is, what is this hose and where does it go?

Figured it out, it runs from the bottom of the reservoir, underneath the exhaust manifold, behind the head, up the drivers side to the T (which goes where?) then on to the thermostat.

I wonder if I can just pick up a bunch of 3/4 hose and completely reroute the line to the thermostat/T bypass:icon_confused:?
