Yeap i walked in the shop n all of em behind the counter just asked the worker what I needed. Gonna finish on Saturday morning

 

Honestly, you probably could build one with EZ fittings from a hardware store. I wouldn't use their hoses though. The only real problem with EZ fittings is the bends aren't nearly as tight or free flowing as a good aftermarket AN piece.

 

Hey Fred I'm putting it together now do I need to put any small clamps on the end of any fittings thank u

 

Did you have braided SS hoses made up to the correct length, with -AN fittings? -AN fittings don't require anything extra.

How do you plan to connect the line to the radiator fitting?

 

Hey Fred no braided hose,I used whatever was on summit,n I used a part of the other original water line to connect to radiator,like I cut a piece off,but now I have an issue,the passenger side head is dripping coolant still,n I don't wanna over tightened it,I already tightened to the limit

 

It's leaking where the fitting meets the head or where the fitting meets the hose?

 

It's leaking where it inserts in the head the 1/4 npt fitting,but I gotta dOuble check bcuz the idiot mechanic way over did the motor oil,I got a oil leak behind the intake manifold n I wonder if I'm getting that confused with the antifreeze,the driver side head insert isn't leaking n the insert isn't all the way in the head

 

These motors are notorious for leaking oil back there because of the EGR valve cooking the gasket. If the mechanic used the goofy cork gasket that the manifold kit comes with instead of a simple bead of RTV then it's probably pushed out and causing your leak. The NPT fittings should not leak when inserted into the cylinder head.

 

I'll redo the intake manifold gasket myself but I went back to the performance store n showed the npt fittings to the guy,n turns out i used the wrong npt fittings,my heads are aluminum and the npt fittings I used were aluminum,so he gave me steel ones instead,I'll see tomorrow if it leaks

 

Shouldn't matter. You would probably actually have fewer leaks using the aluminum fittings.

 

No more leaks with the steel fittings n I used AFR thread sealant n let sit for some days,☺im so happy no more leaks brothers,thank u all,the other fittings I had were aluminum n a lil smaller,steel ones were a lil bigger,but problem solved
