Default rad hose too big??

ok just swapped my b16a in and i got the b16a3 del sol upper and lower hoses and they fit good everywhere besides the lower hose on the bottom of the radiator. the hose is to wide for the single cam rad and i heard guys use that indian seal stuff which i tried but im still leaking antifreeze drop by drop...anyone have this problem??

i think you would be better off stretching a hose over the fitting on the engine that fits the rad snugly.

better than tigtening down a loosy goosy

get a piece of 1" heater hose heat it up and stretch it over the neck then put your larger hose on top and clamp, or get a DA rad
