Why is there too many water outlets near the thermostat housing ,bit confused where which one goes .

Smallest diameter on top of thermostat housing goes to header tank top .
The massive one on the thermo housing goes to radiator top .
But there are still 2 more exits on the thermostat housing and 2 underneath the thermostat housing (bolt on metal pipes )

One of them goes to heater matrix and the other to the bottom of header tank . What happens to the remaining 2 ?? :?:

They sound like the pipes that go to the fake oil cooler :P

You are on about the other ends of the pipes mate . the opposite ends of them 2 and 2 solid pipes (L piece ) from the thermostat housing are what i am trying to figure out .
The only way i can think of it to by pass 2 of the 4 pipes using a U shaped
cooling hose :roll:

Never mind , i will figure it out once the engine is in tomorrow 8)
