Where did you guys tee them into the system? I planned on using the fitting in the thermostat housing and the line at the degas bottle.

 

I teed into my heater hoses. Used 5/8 hose tees.

 

That's not what I had planned on doing, but that may be the route I go since it seems to be a simple way to accomplish this.

 

I also teed into the heater hose. The hose to the block to the in port on the filter head, and water pump hose for the outlet.

 

You should remember this thread, maybe it helps you a little.

Me three.. 5/8 heater hose. I teed into the water pump hose on top, and used the passengers side rear plug in the head for the other.

 

Travis, I hope you weren't on I35 north of Austin!

 

I'm alive. I'm in North Austin right now. Traffic on 35 is JACKED UP going north, even all the way down here. That bridge must have done some damage. I heard it on the radio about an hour ago.

 

I recall it well, Jose. That was what I had planned on doing as well, but I can't locate the 3/8" hose that I need to hook it up that way. 5/8" I can get just about anywhere, but 3/8" I can't find anything but fuel line (which doesn't carry a high enough temperature rating. I probably have enough 5/8" hose on the shelf that I wouldn't even have to buy any. Hopefully tonight I'll get to remove the masking and start plotting and scheming a place to put the filter. At this point, I may just hook into whatever is closest.

 

3/8 trans cooler hose is your dog Nate!

 

What?! What's going on?

 

Finally! Got the rest of my boxes with yellow tape ordered tonight... Ordered my valve springs, shims, pushrods, stem seals, and a ebpv sensor pipe (since mine broke in half from rust)..... Maybe I can get this engine all done now..

 

Here's hoping for you. I'm getting some electrical stuff - redoing some more lighting and updating my brake lights to LED's.

 

I hope you find soon the 3/8" hose.

 

A bridge collapsed on IH35 in Salado today. I wasn't up there or anything. That's what Glenn was talking about.
