BeCool Radiator fitment problem
Hi folks,

I ordered the Becool radiator 60028. It's in perfectly, except the Oil Cooler Bypass Line (#16 http://shbox.com/1/95-97_hoses.jpg) does not fit. The radiator has a threaded hole where the hose should connect. Anyone put in a BeCool and run into this problem? I'm not seeing any kind of adapter available.

Plug the inlet on the radiator and plug the outlet on the water pump. Problem solved.

Nope. You can block both off no problem.

Not arguing... just trying to understand this stuff better, but if the oil bypass isn't necessary what is it there for in the first place?

For when the cars which have oil coolers need it. They didn't want to make two different ones.

Yep. It keeps the water pump universal for all year f-bodies.

Wonder why the factory put a hose in it, rather than just plugging the holes????
