wish I had a picture.
'92 8v tracker 1.6L
whilst doing a head gasket, I noticed a weird connector between the valve cover breather pipe and the aluminum air plenum. It had water lines going to it.
Uhhhh - Houston, WTF, over?

probably and air intake pre heater hose for cold days. my 16 vavle has that and an i.a.c. heater also.

No, its not on the air intake - it's on the 1/2-inch rubber line from the valve cover that vents crankcase fumes to the intake.
It's a metal ring about the size of a quarter, with a 5/16 coolant supply and a 5/16 coolant return line.
I've never seen anything like it. I can't imagine why crankcase vapors would need to be temperature-regulated, or that this small donut would actually do much as vapors passed through it.
Anybody?

No pic. Car is 200 miles away at the moment....
Definitely not a PCV valve. It's straight through - no vlaves or restrictions whatsoever. The vented fumes pass straight through it.....
