#108137, "Lower radiator line nuts and sleeve"


          

So i decided to water cool my turbo and i flared and got the fittings on the upper hard line to feed the coolant to the turbo. But i cant get the tube sleeve to slide in the lower hard line. How did you guys get it to slide down to be able to flate the hard line?

Marked blue going down towards the lower line.



I need to slide in the sleeve far enough to be able to flare the tube. But it has something like a bubble flare. I just want to know how did you guys were able to get arounf this.

The stock lower water pipe is beaded to help keep the lower heater hose from slipping off. As far as I know I have not seen anyone attempt to flare the OEM steel pipe. Typically people have a bung welded on to the pipe instead. I do not know how well that steel pipe would accept a flaring tool. 37* JIC I assume?

Here is a picture of one of Dougie's motors - you can see how his SS lines are routed.

Yes. Use whatever fitting size works with your hose - obviously if steel fittings are needed for steel pipe, and aluminum for aluminum.

I did use tube nuts and sleeves and had no issues with them. Decided to weld a set of fitting on to make the setup cleaner.

You need to be very careful that your welds are not porous becuase they will sweat coolant.
