Which end to cut ugh!!
Having a hard time installing my lower radiator hose. As picture shows, I pushed the upper end onto the water pump neck and am finding the lower end to be sitting way to low to pop on the radiator tube? In order to raise the lower end up, I would have to cut the upper end by about 3" which would place that cut right at the prebent elbow of the hose. Seems way to long. Nothing has changed here. 340 motor and aluminum radiator. If I try and force it to go up and on the lower radiator tube, I get a bigtime kink in the hose? Am I missing something here? Parts store told me to go to West Marine and buy a couple feet of Marine exhaust hose which will allow me to bend it to where it belongs. Anyone else have these issues? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
