Coolant leak from hard pipe on front of block... what do I do now!

[Breedlove]

or get a piee of hose to fit over big part and clamp it on both sides i did this and haven't had an issue.

I did what Rhodestiva suggested, and it worked great, but now I sprung a new leak further up the line. I have another idea, tell me what you think, what it you ran a rubber coolant hose from that joint by the outlet pipe all the way behind the manifold, get another heat shield from a jy, put it over the rubber coolant hose that runs behind the manifold. Do you think that it would block the heat and keep the hose from melting?

Just try and post results. Only way to know. Anyone can guess at anything anytime.

I'm kind of chicken, I am too afraid of it overheating and jacking the heads, I'm just bouncing ideas of people.

Not for long. Run your Festy up a long hill at night, jump out and look at the red manifold glowing like Rudolf's nose.

Run the hose, straighten out a coat hanger to give it some rigidity, then wrap the hose and hanger together in aluminum tape under the manifold. Throwing ideas out there
