Water through Intake Manifolds

AJ, Did you mean to quote me or Lonnie?
I have considered putting a small hole in the I.M. gaskets for the exhaust passages into the I.M.. That would give less heat to it.

I'd be worried that once you open the hole it will continue to open up.

I'd be much less worried about temp issues at idle. I'd be more concerned what the temps are loaded. That's when the heat really matters.
