Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Drain the cooling system as needed, inspect the radiator neck and engine connection points for corrosion or damage, and replace worn clamps if required by the repair. Confirm the hose is seated fully and routed without kinks or twist before refilling and bleeding the cooling system.
