Default Re: hi guys need advice again

JM:
I just put in a new motor as well and I have both of the heater hose outlets plugged off. The answer to your question is no, you don't need a piece of hose between them.

My only question is are you sure that you have gotten coolant all the way filled inside the motor. I had a problem with overheating until I got all the air our of the block. What I did was to remove the water temp sending unit next to the thermostat housing. That way as I filled the radiator I could see coolant coming out of the sending unit hole to ensure that no air bubble was left inside of the block.

Hope that helps.
