Approx. Time: 30 Mins
Hardware andTools Needed:
1- Set Quick-connects (We use Parker Connectors due to their larger size)
5 - Feet of 3/4 I.D. Rubber Heater Hose
1 - 90* Barbed Elbow
1 - Straight Barbed Connector
2 - 90* 3/4" Barb to 3/4" NPT Elbows (Or whatever thread
size your quick-connects take)
6 - Hose Clamps
1 - Plain Screwdriver
1 - Phillips Screwdriver
2 - Cresent Wrenches (or the correct wrenches to fit elbows and quick-connects
1 - Tape Measure
Teflon Tape (Either the "dry" or liquid works fine)
Shop Rags
Step 1:
Remove stock coolant hose from head (Use rags to put around hose and motor compartment as anti-freeze will run out of the hose on removal).
Step 2:
Measure 3" after bend, and cut hose in two pieces. The end that goes back onto the head will have the preformed bend on it.
Step 3:
Put one end of 90* barbed connector in hose running down underneath motor. Tighten hose clamp around connector. (Call this hose "HOSE 1")
Step 4:
Put straight connector in bent end of hose that you took off of the head (Call this hose "HOSE 2").
Step 5:
Take 5 feet of hose and cut one 26" piece and attach to Hose 1. Cut a 28" piece from what is left, and fasten to Hose 2 (should have 6" of extra hose, depending on how much you decide to use). Use hose clamps to tighten hose to connectors.
Step 6:
Put Hose 2 back on head, twisting so that the bend faces towards the front of the sled.
Step 7:
Use Teflon Tape to fasten threaded portion of remaining elbows into connection ends, and tighten.
Step 8:
Put 90* barb to NPT elbow in end of hose you run up front and secure with hose clamps.
Step 9:
Hook up to cooling machine and circulate coolant through lines and inspect for leaks.
Step 10:
Modify Thermostat. (Click HERE to find out what needs to be done to thermostat.)
