OK... Maybe I didn't say it but i would assume you would realize I already replaced the hose. Anyway i guess what i am asking is what did you guys do to get the bigger GSR hose to actually get a good seal on the civic radiator...

Re: Coolant leak !!!! (ahasan)
I am using del sol (b16) hoses on my gsr swap. Get the sealant that is made to put on the inside of the hose. And don't use the the stock clamps, get some worm clamps. Make sure not to make them to tight b/c you can crack the plastic radiator.

if you are using the bigger hoses(b series) on the stock civic radiator you can take the old smaller civic hose, cut about 2 inches of it and place it on the neck of the radiator and then put the bigger hose on it.
that way you don't have to use clamps too tight that can damage/crack the radiator. or you can get a b series radiator.
good luck!
