Is it not there and I should add one? lol sorry again, I truly just do not know this stuff.
"Yup, for sure. M42 only has this one coolant pipe. Order the O-ring with it. " Same thing here should I order a second pipe along with the O-ring? | Ok, to make it clearer... The coolant pipe is there on the side of the block, otherwise your coolant would be spewing from the side of the engine. It's just that one of the weak spots of these engines is cooling systems. If a $5 part breaks and you overheat the engine, it can ruin the whole engine. It is just one of the best things to do as far as preventative maintenance goes... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
