LS Stainless Steel Steam Vent Crossover Kit
LS Stainless Steel Steam Vent Crossover Kit
Unlock peak performance and reliability from your LS engine with our Stainless Steel 4-Corner Steam Vent System. Designed to vent trapped steam from all four corners of the cylinder heads, this system helps prevent hot spots, pressure build-up, and dangerous pre-detonation—especially critical for modified setups running boost, nitrous, or aggressive tunes.
Why You Need a 4-Corner Steam Kit:
The LS engine features steam ports in all four corners for a reason. Trapped steam increases internal pressure, elevates cylinder temps, and can cause:
- Unsafe tuning conditions
- Head gasket failures
- Lean cylinders (especially #7 and #8)
- Piston damage or failure
Whether you're upgrading your camshaft or building a full-blown forced induction setup, this kit is a proven solution to safeguard your engine.

Important Note for LS3 / L92 Heads:
These heads often have rear steam ports blocked with press-fit plugs. These can be removed using a punch from below (if heads are off) or carefully drilled from above. DO NOT enlarge the port diameter. Use a vacuum and a greased drill bit to prevent chips from entering coolant passages.
