Would have the Continental fit OK if it went on the water pump neck? Where was the Continental hose made?
Sometimes there is a little garbage on the radiator tube that prevents 100% seal of the hose. I would drain the radiator and pull the hose and use some fine sandpaper to shine up the radiator tube, then reinstall the hose and try again.I installed the Gates hose last week and refilled the radiator last night
Saw a coolant spot on some cardboard overnight ......like no more than a dollar coin size drip circle
Appears there's a very very slow drip at the radiator end.......the clamp is tight
Any tips or tricks?
Try this Gates lower hose #20558 along with the "SHORT" oil filter. This is what I use on my 440 Demon. Don't slide it completely to the very top of the water pump neck. Install it about an inch past the little raised ridge on the neck and install and tighten your clamp. It'll just be touching the oil filter a slight bit. If you have a hose spring I'd use one just for insurance.I installed the Gates hose last week and refilled the radiator last night
