the hose was fine, how could you tell you said it was wrapped in eletrical tape. what is going on here. this means you didnt back flush the motor, so there could have been air pockets along with the water in the motor. which means if the car read hot you also didnt watch for the temp gauge. So honestly what is the deal, are you just trying to get something for free or what. Cuz you are starting to talk in circles?
