I present to you my luck: Coolant hose on the back of the head busted

[Schwarz325]

Alright what would make this happen, other than a pressure build up? I went to bleed my cooling system today since i added coolant to it for the first time, and everything went smooth til i saw a river of coolant on my driveway. Upon a close inspection it was the hose in the back of the head. Like a dumbass i didn't replace it when the motor was out.

So, i'll try to make it a one piece going from there to the pipe on the firewall, because i have them connected witha plastic union right now.


Maybe it was clogged? head not circulating?

Looks like the intake mani has to come off, or i can tilt the engine around, fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk :(

jus fix it real fast. should be okay ya?

not really worth worrying about yet. old hoses can start leaking sometimes. :sad: i would replace it and thoroughly bleed the system. if you keep blowing hoses or see bubbles continuously coming out of the cooling system, then this can be signs of a blown headgasket. that is after all the air is bled out of course. hopefully its just a fubar hose though

That's what i'm hoping. If the water jackets are clogged up, it would pop a headgasket before itw ould a hose, amirite?
