Default upper radiator hose

did a search, nothing came up. the one i have on there now is leaking from both ends and looks way too big, i bought one for an ls but it looks even bigger and is way longer... i know the tegs have a bigger radiator and the inlet is bigger so the hose has to be big... but i have the stock radiator and the inlet is smaller....i have an ek with a b18b.. what hose do most of you guys use with the swap? should i get one for a single cam? its leaking i need to fix this asap, thanks for the help guys!

If you have the stock radiator you should buy the hose for that model civic, sohc radiator hoses are smaller than the B series.

stick a small hose on the small radiator opening and then jam the big hose over it and then use the ring clamp thingy to tighten it!

I wouldn't use two hoses. Try and see if you can fit a SOHC upper radiator hose on the radiator and the block. Are you still using the Civic radiator or the LS?

See if you can use a civic upper radiator hose then on your LS block. If not, I'm not sure if you could find a reducer to go from the larger diameter hose from the LS block to the smaller diameter of the civic hose/radiator. But it would be worth a shot if you could.
