Uhhhhhh, that would be the reason for:

1 - The overflow resevoir and

2 - The radiator cap

That "tech" was feeding a line of crap.

That tech sounds like a pretty smart fella... lets think you have aftermarket intake and that hose comes off antifreeze goes into the intake... then the motor goes BOMB.... i think ill take my chances with my clamp on there!!!

Glad I can help you guys out... just trying to pass the word on...
