I flushed out my cooling system the other day and while I was at it I did that silly little throttle body bypass. I have a question, though. I connected where those two lower hoses used to be with a fresh 1/2 inch hose. The problem is they are so close that it has a darn tight radius bend in the hose so it is kinda pinched. Is that going to affect coolant flow? I noticed on my gauge that shes runnin a little hotter than usual.

 

if you wanna do it the clean easy way just buy this : dayco hose #80401.. it has a 90* bend in it so you dont have ot worry about anything. only like 7 bucks too.
