Power Steering
If your package came equipped with power steering you must fill the reservoir
with and OEM approved fluid before starting the engine.
Cooling System
To ensure proper operation a radiator and cooling fans capable of maintaining a
normal operating temperature of 180-210 degrees must be installed. The water pump on
LS Engines rotate opposite the crank. Therefore radiator lines go from top to top, and
bottom to bottom. As every application is different it is impossible for us to recommend
a radiator and fan combination for your application. Serious consideration should be
given to the set up of your cooling system; we recommend you seek professional advice
if you are not absolutely sure of the requirements of your application. You must ensure
your entire cooling system is filled with coolant before starting the engine.
*Note* the air bleed tube must be hooked up to a pressure side of the cooling system
i.e. radiator lines, or radiator tank (not overflow).
Water Temperature
A sending unit for an aftermarket water temperature gauge can be installed on the
head of the passenger side of the engine.
The thread pitch is ¼ N.P.T
Starter
When using a VW variant transaxle you must use a “high torque” style starter, use
of a standard VW starter WILL result in damage to the starter.
