When you guys had to rotate the small coolant tube on the driver's side of the water pump, did you have any issues with water leaking?

I haven't gotten to that part yet but it has been on my mind.

Thanks,

 

Never had an issue with a coolant leak. What I did was use a long extension and put it into the waterpump fitting and rotated it. You will notice it will take some elbow grease to get the fitting to rotate.

 

that was my experience too... be carefull when you run your new extended coolant line to this fitting, if you run it up the pass side of the radiator and over to the fitting, make sure it doesn't kink where it turns to go up. It's kind of a tight spot, so you woulnd really notice the line was kinked if you weren't looking for it.

 

Unfortunately, the guy who sold the kit to me did not include that piece of hose so I have to find another. That were a lot of little pieces that didn't make it into my used kit

 

Instead of cuting the hard line and using a compression fitting on the lower hose I just straightened the hard line towards the front of the car and used about a 3 foot section of heater hose and a small piece of hard line to connect the two soft sections to return to the water pump. No clearance issues and not problems.
