Patent ID: 6945199

Claim:
A crossover and manifold assembly adapted for conducting a fluid through a vehicle engine, the conduit and manifold assembly comprising: a crossover having a passage formed therein extending between a first end and a second end thereof; and a manifold joined to the first and second ends of the crossover, the manifold having first and second openings, the first and second openings defining first and second inner surfaces, respectively; wherein at least one of the first end and the second end of the crossover is disposed within one of the first and the second openings of the manifold such that the at least one of the first end and the second end of the crossover completely covers the one of the first and the second inner surfaces of the one of the first and the second openings thereby preventing fluid from contacting the one of the first and second inner surfaces of the one of the first and second openings of the manifold.
