MileHighCTLS Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) In doing my 5-year rubber changeout, I came across a situation and would appreciate feedback. The original routing of two coolant lines from the water pump to cylinders #2 & #4 seems a little weird. If I follow the original path, the lines are squeezed thru the engine mounting frame (as they connect upper and lower water pump ports to cylinders #2 & #4). The path does not impede fluid flow but it does seem to encourage chafing. Has anyone else noticed this?

Tom Baker Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Yes, the hoses need to pass through the mount. I don't particularly like the way they are, but I don't think there is any better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a short piece of plastic tubing on mounting frame above and below the lines. Not sure if it'll do much good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I don't think you really need anything between the hose and the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 They won't chafe and fail. If they did we all be glider pilots by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
