I am getting ready to figure out the coolant lines from the back of the engine to the Civic radiator.
Could folks paste pictures of how they have done this? I am looking for a reasonably neat looking solution that is LoCost.
Running the lines on the intake side of the engine is preferred at the moment, but I am still open to suggestion.
I am hoping to save a bit of head-scratching time.

There just isn't much room on intake side,
and since in-out outlets are pointing to
other side, it was easier to pass stainless
tubes, one on top and other under exhauet
headers.
I will post pics of the setup and detailed
info on 20 valve 4age water plumbing
in a locost frame.

PS. This is my replica 7 with blacktop
less coolant tubes and hoses.

Nice clean runs.

It looks like you forgot one of the hose clamps; upper run near back of block.

I was wondering if anyone would notice that....I ran out. Need just that one. I will get a clamp this week and put it on. Does that count as progress?

It totally counts as progress. I was just mentioning it in case you overlooked it. :cheers:
