sorry to ask a question thats more then likely been asked loads, but ive been looking at cavalier and calibra plumbing guides and its just not going in lol


the long hose coming off the icv goes to?

the solid pipe wrapped around the block has two small outlets on the back of the block, one goes to the header tank and the other to the heater matrix, is that right?

also the one that goes to the header tank has to be t'ed off with another pipe what pipe is this?

the other side of the heater matrix is feed form the water hose coming off the head, right?


thats all the pipes i can think of right now, cheers.
