Here is my 86es and my 89i... which is why I said you should upgrade to a new model radiator.

Make sure you have the rubber stopper installed under your oil pan pushing against the subframe and you have good motor mounts. Also, there should be a hanger that holds the hose out of the way on the drivers side frame rail. If any of those things are messed up/missing you WILL have the ALT cut the hose.

ok guys , i got my motor mounts

Are they installed?

no, now go outside and snap a pic of your lower radiator hose.:pimp:

No, now go install them.

Your motor will then sit 2" to the right (where it's supposed to) and this will no longer be a problem.

I've been through this process already; 3 lower hoses to be exact.

LOL I just thought that you could also have your alternator adjusted too far out because your belt could be too long. worth a look to see if you alternator is adjusted all the way out.

No it's not. All you need is a jack, a 17mm socket and 17mm wrench. I changed one in 15 minutes in my apartment parking lot.
