Do
you have a rear seat heater? If so, I can simplify the instructions
a bit.
Here's
an excerpt from the instructions under the heading "Modifications
to the Vehicle"
>>
9. Pull heater hose routed over gearbox back and shorten by 280mm.
Route this pipe straight back just below water pipe extensions.
>>
10. Join the 280 mm section to heater pipe that went straight
back and now route this pipe over the gearbox (heater pipes are
effectively swapped around).
It
took me 1/2 an hour to understand what they wanted to do in these
2 steps. I eventually found out what to do. I found it easier
to go to Autozone and pick up 4 or 5 feet of generic 5/8 heater
hose (Autozone has this available by the foot).
The
first thing to do is start at the T connections for the rear heater.
Disconnect the heater hose that went straight back to the motor,
connect one end of your 4-5 length of heater hose to this and
run it over the tranny. You'll notice that on the new motor there
is a short length of hose coming off the head with a barb connection
at the end. Once the engine is installed, cut your 4-5 length
of heater hose so that it connects to this barb fitting without
too big a loop, but without kinking either. You're half-way done
:)
Go
back to the rear heater T. Disconnect the old hose that went over
the tranny and pull it out. connect the remainder of your 5/8
heater hose to this T and run it straight back along the radiator
pipes/hoses. Under the new coolant reservoir, there is another
smaller hose with a barb on the end of it. cut your 5/8 hose to
the correct length and connect it to this barb. You're Done! :)
The
reason I did mine this way was that it eliminated a splice (and
therefore a possible leak point), and it used new hose instead
of 10-15 year old hoses. If you have any questions, Or if I've
thoroughly confused you, feel free to e-mail me again.
