water is
pumped
first into the

manifolds where it is
preheated to re
duce
rapid

change
and
possible
condensation after
being
routed to
the
cyl
inder
block

again
is
routed

The water
flows
up
around the
cylinder
bores
and
into
the
cylinder
heads
After
cooling
the valve
areas
in
the
cylinder
heads the

passes
out of the front of
the heads
and
is

ducted
to the
after
end
of
the
engine
through
separate overflow
passages
in the
