    You will be my best friend if you can tell me exactly how this SOB is routed. I've been trying for a few days to get this figured out and installed. I'm am nearly to the point of tearing everything off the top of the engine (which is completely assembled at this point) to get this thing installed and even then I'm not sure of the routing. I understand it 'goes under everything' as stated by Dave Helms but there's still things unknown.

    1. does it go under and come back up on the SAME side as the heat exchanger? Left side of the heater exchanger?

    2. There are 2 sleeves on this hose. Where exactly should these be located to protect the hose? Seems like an awful lot of bolts and sharp edges in there to get cut up on.

    3. Can this be installed with everything in place or do I need to go ahead and remove everything down to the heat exchanger to get this in?

    A picture of this hose installed would be worth more than gold to me right now. So far it's been by far the most difficult part of assembling this engine, which has been relatively easy up to now.

    THAT my friend is GOLDEN! Exactly what I needed to see. You're the man.

    Whether or not I can get that in there without almost completely disassembling the top of the engine is another story. The fittings under the heat exchanger make it really REALLY difficult.

    Sean,

    Dave already told you the correct way to route the hose on pg.5 of your assy. thread, The hose in the photo above is obviously routed incorrectly.

    I saw that, however it's a pretty general statement. I understand now that it lays under everything, however where does it feed down and then back up. Down the left side of the heat exchanger and then back up on the left or right side? Also where are the 2 sleeves positioned on the hose?
