Now on to my next project, the M-25XP on my C30.
I pulled the HX, pulled the end caps off and it looks really clean inside but still going to radiator shop for cleaning.
Pulled the Sherwood RW off as it showed signs of oil leaking. New Oberdopher pump being delivered by end of week.
The exhaust riser manifold flange nuts came off OK but the flange is stuck on the manifold. I've been giving it some doses of PB Blaster and will try some gentle heat this weekend. 8" Hump Hose is ordered.
All the associated cooling hoses need to be replaced. The RW and hot water hoses appear to be 5/8" and the only markings I can find on some of them is "Heater Hose".
The fresh water side hoses appear to be 7/8" and all markings are painted over or otherwise gone. There is a slight bit of blue stripe showing if that is a clue.
There are no fancy bends in these larger hoses but there are a couple of short 90 degree bends.
There are two smaller ID hoses coming off the thermostat housing which have adapters to what appears to be 5/8" hose. One looks braided.
I know hose can be wire reinforced or not but I am not sure what would require wire reinforcement, is it just a cost thing or is there a use where wire reinforced should not be used.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me a brief tutorial on what type of hose to put where and what I need to buy pre bent or can bend myself?
Photo of the top of the M-25XP showing smaller thermostat hoses and one of larger bent hose. The second photo shows the short 90 deg bent hose I'm more concerned about bending my self. It comes off the bottom of the fresh water pump of the diesel.
Thanks
