Coolant Block-Off and Reroute Spacer // EGR Block-Off // EGR Block-Off with FPR Mount
#126
Yeah. Stock '99 head. Has anyone ever removed that whole thing from the head? If my head wasnt already bolted to the block I would just hack that piece off and have the hole welded shut.
I know space is tight back there but this has to be a design flaw. There is no way a hose is going on that housing. I also learned the kia housing is actually too big for our hoses regardless
And no, my badass plastic calipers arent for sale

I don't think so. On my other car I put the hose on then put the engine in but it's pretty well understood putting the hose on is a bitch. I have both Bandits and Skou's spacer and Skou's is a bit thicker (.060" maybe).
Don't know the wall thickness of the nipple that causes the problem otherwise if it was thick enough you could cut some off for clearance. I debated trying it but not in the mood to create maybe extra work if I cut through the wall. Maybe someone knows?

I guess id just like to minimize the amount of shavings i make inside the engine. Even if it is only coolant.
So that gm hose is 4mm bigger on one end vs the other? I just think its silly that everyone uses that kia housing when its not even for the same hose size as our cars

Sorry for being late to the party here. It does look like you've got less clearance than normal. We've either clearanced or removed the fitting in a situation where the motor is out, but we've also installed them as-is on many cars with the engine installed.. I'm sorry you're having troubles with it, if there is anything else I can do to help, please let me know.
