3. ENGINE COOLING SySTEM MODIFICATION

Fig. 3B: Upper Radiator Hose

Locate the previously-removed OEM upper radia-

tor hose. Pull back the braided abrasion sleeve

from the quick-release end of the hose, well clear

of the 90° hose bend.

Cleanly and squarely cut the upper radiator hose

approximately 2” back from the quick-release leg

as shown. (See Fig. 3B)

Insert the short end of the included Ø1.5” x 90°

steel pipe into the long end of the cut radiator

hose and orient as shown, securing with an

included #28 worm gear clamp. (See Fig. 3C)

Reattach the long portion of the OEM radiator

hose to the radiator same as before, but clocked

so the long leg is routed downward along the pas-

senger side of the engine. The exposed leg of

the 90° steel pipe should point directly to the driv-

er side. Secure the hose to the radiator with the

OEM clamp. (See Fig. 3D)

Cut away the plastic hose clamp on the quick-

release end of the cut radiator hose in a similar

manner as previously done with the short upper

radiator hose, taking care not to damage the

hose. (See Fig. 3E)
