[QUOTE=Eatoniashoprat;61522]I just finished plumbing the cooling system today. Check it out. I was skeptical at first but am pretty pumped how it turned out.

Hey Eastoniaoprat, not bad
A couple of things I’d like to point out are
1- I agree with Rich you need to support your rear cooling lines, if fact ensure all your lines are supported.
2- I think there are too many joins -remember every join is a failure point
3- Where you have bent your piping to form 90 deg bends and the piping has crushed like in some of the picture you have reduced the internal diameter of the pipe by the size of the crimp/crease then the same amount again as the water (or air) forms little turbulent spots were the flow stalls the size of this stalled flow is about the same size as the crease that’s caused it.
I have a few suggestions related to the above points, feel free to use them or tell me to jam them up my ass.
1- You have used hose clips for mounting, change to exhaust clamps, this is more secure and allows a air gap between the pan and pipes helps stops the transfer of heat through the pan.
2- Wherever there is a join use two hose clips, ensure the end of each pipe has a croxs/ridge on the end of it. Only use good hose clips like wurth brand, use s/steel ones that don’t have the holes/slots cut through the band for the worm/screws to work in but are stamped with the ridges for the worm/screws to work on.
3- Replace the bend pipe with moulded rubber hoses, were ever you can.
But hey I have bean known to spout **** before and I have bean wrong, just ask my wife.
