Summit Racing™ Coolant Crossover Delete Kit for GM LS This new Coolant Crossover Delete Kit converts the GM LS factory four-corner coolant crossover system to a two-corner system by blocking off the steam ports in the rear of the cylinder heads.
That creates more clearance for intake manifolds, eliminates unnecessary plumbing and adds more firewall clearance for engine swaps in tight engine compartments. The kit includes two billet aluminium block-off plugs, sealing O-rings, and bolts and does not require the removal of the cylinder heads to install.

These facts got Autoglym thinking. Seeing as we often attribute sentience to our cars – saying ‘Ouch!’ when we hit a pothole, for example – what sort of New Year resolutions would the four-wheeled member of our family make if it was given the opportunity? Surely it would also like to feel greater pride in its appearance and spend more quality time with More >
