oh this is kind of off topic, but its my thread so who cares...
what exactly does the steam pipe do anyhow? i thought it was only for steam hence the name, but if its connecting that low on the radiator it must have coolant in it.

It flows coolant... but allows a path for air and steam bubbles to escape from the rear of the heads. I have a temp sensor in that line, to feed coolant temp to a second ECU.
Supposedly there is a vapor/liquid separator chamber inside the radiator tank, where the line connects.
