om617 coolant hoses - yota4life - 09-17-2016
So finally got my om617 swap running. Now here's my question the hose by the oil filter I'm assuming is a coolant hose. Can I block that off without issue

Yes if you don't want the cabin heater.

Ya I removed all the heater stuff. Thanks for the quick reply

I'd think you'd want to loop it so it bypasses the cabin but does flow out of the back of the head. Isn't its function to keep the rearmost cylinders cool?

Manual climate control at least stops flow through that circuit completely. When doing performance mods, on all 6xx engines it's a good idea to loop it as you say
