XE in Nova water pipe?

[burgo]

when putting an XE in a Nova, the black plastic water pipe that goes around the back, and side of the block - should that have 2 or 3
outlets, and where should they go?

we're thinking three take-offs, 2 to straight to the heater matrix, and the third goes to the header tank

can anyone confirm (pics would be good)

You have three on the black plastic pipe, the front big one goes to the rad, the one at the back on the drivers side goes to the relevent heater matrix one, the last one goes to the header tank. The other heater matrix one goes to the head on the engine. If both on the plastic pipe go to the heater matrix then there is no flow through it an thus it wont even heat up, common mistake made when piping them up.

hmmm that would explain why we couldnt find a 3 outlet one today then, picked up loads of 2 outlet ones and put em back down again thinking they were wrong lol
