Hopefully this picture will help. I would take a better one except my car is in bits while I swap to a modded Silvertop. The picture is of a Blacktop
but they are the same.
Basically The hose on the side of the head goes to the top of the radiator. The larger hose on the water block (bolted to the rear of the head) is the
return from the radiator.
That leaves two smaller heater matrix hoses. As I don't have a screen I just connect the higher of them to the expansion tank. The other one
which is hiden on this picture is simply blocked.
The top water temp sensor is connected to my ECU. The rear temp sensor again hidden in this picture connects to my dash gauge. The rear most temp
sensor, on the right in this picture, can be used but its on the wrong side of the thermostat. its connected in this picture but I don't use it
anymore.
If that isn't clear I can add labels to the picture later.

you could also T the two heater hoses together with the tank hose, that way you always have full flow through the head, some people state that that
would be better, don't know completly why though maybe hotspots???. I had a tee piece lying around so I plumbed it in like that.
there's one advantage on doing it like this, if fills up with coolant a lot quicker!

I'll have a look later a the water block and see if theirs any advantage to doing that. It would get rid of the unsightly blocked hose at least.

P.s. I like the expansion tank on the picture... where can I get on of these? On mine the return hose is very small (might get too much
pressure!?!?!?!

Hi that tank is the standard RAW Engineering header for the Striker kit car. If you haven't noticed from the picture the tank is sat on a 45 deg
slope so its not square more a triangular wedge shape.
