Re: bypass hoses

Check your radiator for flow. Even though my "new" radiator was 3 years old, I too ran hot. I changed from a 3 core brass to a 2 core aluminum and the temps are now under control.

Re: bypass hoses

Not sure if I'm understanding you exactly, but I think I get it. From what I've seen, most people run lines from the rear water crossovers straight up to the front crossovers. Not sure on the AN sizes you'd need.


Sorry if this wasnt much help


Max,
