Top radiator hose misshaps.
Ok, well. I made a mistake and bought a 99 SI top radiator hose at autozone. Didn't fit. So I go back and get a 94 del sol hose. The guy asked if it was a Del Sol S. I said iunno, it has a dohc b in it. So he gives it to me. I bring it home. It's exactly the same as the 99si hose. So uh. Should I just get a 98 integra top hose? I took a wild guess and told the guy I needed an integra bottom hose and it fit. Right now, I have the bottom b16 hose cut to fit the top inlets of the radiator and block. It looks kinda shady and I really would like to change it before I fill'er up and crank the engine over tomorrow.

Try a '95 Integra GS-R hose? I just used the OE hoses with my swap ('95 B18C1 into a '92 CX hatch) and the GS-R stuff fit just fine. The diameter of the hose is slightly larger so you need to use a worm clamp (typical radiator clamp, not the OE pin ones) to tighten it on the Civic radiator spout. Retighten it about every 2 weeks for a while as they tend to loosen when forced to do that.

Alright it's not touching anything. I'll take a pic tomorrow when it's light out. Get a few opinons on that. Atleast if there is a leak, I'll know where it is.
