Default New radiator - Hose doesnt fit

Bought a new radiator for my D16z6 and the new radiator upper hose connection is bigger than the previous. My engine side fits but the rad size doesnt. Is there any adapters I can get?

Was the radiator for the specific engine or did you buy it for a specific chassis?

Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you got the VTEC rad.

Sorry. I was thinking Del Sol for some reason. Still, it sounds like you got a rad for a B-series. In fact I'll bet the farm.

Get some lube and muscle it on.

If you lube it up, it should bust quicker...


LOL someone had to do it.

What brand is the rad? Whenever there is a fitment issue I think of a crappy ebay part.
