Frequently Asked Questions

LS engine cylinder heads feature top steam vents where air pockets accumulate. If not properly vented back to the radiator or expansion tank, trapped air causes localized cylinder head hot spots, risking head gasket failure and detonation. The Holley 26-550 kit safely bleeds steam to protect your engine.

No, part number 26-550 is specifically configured for front-location cylinder head steam outlets. If your intake manifold clearance requires blocking the rear ports, standard LS steam vent block-off plugs can be used at the rear while this kit plumbs the front outlets.

The outlet hose should be routed to a designated steam port on your radiator, an external expansion header tank, or spliced into the upper radiator hose/water pump inlet line above the level of the cylinder head steam vents to ensure continuous air bleeding.
