Bassett Plumbing

[FlatRat]

I picked some new Bassett O.T.'s.What is the correct way to plumb these so they don't blue.I'm running BBC with a v-755 neovane. I ran 1/2" S.S. tubing from pump to heads,3/8" out thermostat housing to Tee valve,3/8" out of Tee valve to factory water lines.Are these tubing sizes big enough? There is a gate valve on water out.Is this the best way?I hear of some guys putting .070 restrictors in line. Any thoughts from the pro's.Thanks.

Personally I have given up on keeping them like the were when they were new, if you run gas. I'll coat mine when the time comes.

Only 2 kinds of headers. new ones and blue ones.
I always ran 'em dry & hot. Headers hated it but the exhaust valve sure were happier.
