#1 Header tank bleed pipes function?

Post by Lambo911 » Mon Sep 08, 2014 8:38 am

Hi,

Just replacing the header tank and bleed pipe between it and the inlet manifolds. The pipe going into the left hand manifold seems to be blocked with some very solid black gunge, should it be blocked? The one on the right seems clear. Does anyone know what function these bleed pipes provide please?
