Installation Notes

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and overall length against the removed part before installation. Inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining cooling system components for wear or corrosion, and replace any damaged sealing surfaces before refilling the system. After installation, refill with the correct coolant mixture and check for leaks at operating temperature.
