I found one coolant hose that I guess I tightened to much and it split a little( overflow to thermostat). Lol ripped it off by hand,.

I notice I have zero coolant pressure, even after a good drive, would this be a sign of another split somewhere ? I can't see nothing, but am assuming correct?

I THINK I had some semi lose hoses as well, will see if hold now.

Did you ever recheck all you clamps after the engine swap?

I check hose clamp tightness on everything i i do hose work on every hour or so of run time until these stop being loose and set in. Keep in mind you don't over tighten!

In short, "heck no" hehe I totally forgot to check them, this was my issue I'm sure.

I'm going to have to practice this more, I spent time looking for lose bolts etc, and didnt checked any hoses.

And yes, I totally over squeezed couple hoses to much,

I bought a 6' length of a "gates brand " heater hose, and just replaced the overflow 3/8 hoses,

Man didn't realize how thin my old ones were, these new hoses are thick,

I seem to be the king of over tightening,

Lol, aka means I got a new upper rad hose







Ps. Lol , honest ....the hose is larger In real life haha

I run at 0 pressure Monk. Evans Waterless.



In fairness i agree, it’s very difficult to resist and not overtighten those clamps.

Ya think? Lol look here , hose clamp broke hehe



New upper rad hoses is now done on top and lol I was gentle



In a few weeks or so I have to add in a block heater as we didn't install one yet, so then I'll replace the lower water pump etc hoses as well,

My top hose had some decent cracks as well, so figure now would be the best time to chance all,,,
