Re: Silicon Water Hoses

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Another major benefit in the use of silicone hoses is that they will 
not shrink ie: you will not have to retighten the hose clamps to 
prevent them from weeping as they age. A real big plus for the hoses 
behind the water pump as they cannot be reached after you install 
them. Thats why Rob Grady includes them in his master water pump 
replacment kit! Anything that you can do to upgrade the cooling system 
is a good idea, it is one of the weak points on the car besides most 
cars are still running the origional hoses.
