Helps divert some water along the front of the block to reduce hot spots (think of the standard setup as running in series, the diverter is like running the circuit in parallel) and to actually pump water through the cross drills instead of steam. The one on some of the T3 motors might need to be reduced in size for a SOHC motor from I've been told. Who knows which one would work for a DOHC hybrid.
A similar solution is to open the freeze plug on the end of the cylinder head and bolt on a thermostat housing to pull the hot water out there at its hottest point, to help cool off the number four cylinder.
