Lower rad hose is kinked

[shiboujin]

I've dealt with it for a while but I think its killing cooling capacity. My lower rad hose seems like it wants to link up lower down than it does. It's a stock E30 325i lower hose which is what I think most ppl use. Only diff is that I didn't shim my motor up on the E28 mounts to keep lower center of gravity.

thoughts?

You could shorten it.

e36 mishimoto. but I had the same kink with my late model E30 one. I guess ill try cutting down the stock E36 one I have. I might have a stock E30 late model one somewhere.

E36 mishimoto with e36 samco hoses cut down a bit upper and lower

e36 hoses with the mishimoto radiator, no kinking.

I have a slight kinking.

Try picking up the Mishimoto E36 hoses and see if they solve the problem.
