For the first time I replaced my upper radiator hose for the first time ever. I didnt feel like paying goodyear 80 dollars to do something so simple. But I realize that the hose I put on is shorter and dosen't fit all the way to the end of the radiator pipe. I put clamps on that are pretty tight but will this hold for a week or less?

 

^ for help

 

What engine do you have? Where did you buy the hose from? What hose did you ask for?

 

91 civic dx 1.5L, stock d15. I just asked for the same hose. But it was way to long so I had to cut it. It turns out I cut to much off so it dosn't completly cover the pipe.

 

As long as the clamp is tightly around the fitting it should hold good and let this be a lesson, measure twice cut one time
