... So I say again, good idea to put hose clamps on. |
Wow, I wished I read this while I was installing my SC and Oil kit over the weekend...complete FAIL.
After installing everything per the instructions and even adding some zip ties to the lines - they blew right off while Bill @
DeliciousTuning was logging to make sure the tune was solid (which it was!!). Oil everywhere!
Mike at Infamous came to the rescue to push them back on and clamp them down so I could limp home and get new lines put on. After some degreasing and while limping home the lines popped on the radiator side. F! Oil EVERYWHERE again! I had to borrow some tools from a shop nearby where I broke down, rip the bumper and intercooler off in a parking lot, get an Uber driver to take me to Parker Hoses where they press fitted some fancy new blue high pressure high temp hoses and installed permanent oketer clamps. Reinstalled and degreased (again) and now I'm all set. 18 quarts of oil and $350 later...I'm installed the way it should have come from the beginning.
