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!

Re: upper radiator hose (hybridevul)
If you have the stock radiator you should buy the hose for that model civic, sohc radiator hoses are smaller than the B series.

Re: upper radiator hose (Boostage)
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.
