I’m use to tightening hoses really tight but no matter what I do the hoses still seem to move to the point where I can pull them off. They are the correct hoses but they just don’t seem to hold. My radiator is a little lower then the radiator hoses and it’s seem to pull the hoses down. I’m not sure what kind of pressure the engine makes but it just doesn’t seem tight enough. Am I missing something. What’s the trick.
Have you got the hoses with the dogleg in them and are you putting them on dry/no sealer? Bill
