Im replacing my screw in coolant outlet stub on the block, is that what its called?! that takes coolant to the heater inlet bulk head pipe.
Anyway the diameter of the pipe is 16mm excluding the raised ridge/bead, my silicone hose is 16mm ID and slips on easily, a bit to easily!
Whats the diameter of the OEM hoses? I can get 13mm ID silicone hose but with the bead on the pipe to get past would they be over stretched and deteriorate quicker?
My existing arrangement has started weeping, the hose is 16mm ID already, but i think the leak is more to do with corrosion on the old pipe/stub than the actual hose.
Also what sealant should i use on the threads when i fit the new stub
