cool cinnamon rolls and coffee will await you guys

if you happen to have e-clips that go on the ssv/vdi actuators that would be great...no one I have visited has one that fits

do your self a favor and get silicone radiator hoses old buddy. It will benefit the flow to the water pump a little and it all adds up.

well I had ordered some but they ended up being out of stock. then I got tired of looking for a 3 hose kit (the samco kit is out of the question and has bad reviews with fitment) so that leaves me with RB...for $120

I got all 3 OEM for $73 so figured I would save a buck. I didnt think there was really a value with silicone other than longevity/looks

total....after sitting for a bit it started again and ran pretty darn good for 5min or so then randomly stalled out. I am assuming vacuum leak but all the major stuff is hooked up.
