what to use for heater hose looping

[tazndrew04]

I removed my heater hoses that go from the block to the heater core. I bought the heater hose kit from extremepsi. Well long story short, I need some options on what to use to loop just the block coolant passages to one another and just not use the heater. I tried coolant hose but it just gets a kink in it from the coolant tubes from the back of the block being so close. Is there any other options to loop them to one another?

Home Depot? Can purchase either pvc or copper plumbing angles that you can put at the kinked location, and you'll need 2 more clamps for it.

Just buy about 4'of new hose. Make a larger loop to take the kink out.

Or even check your local parts store, and tell them you need to look at their molded heater hoses. Should be able to find one with a molded 180 bend or so that will be long enough to hook up the the engine in both spots without kinking. And probably only be $10 to $15
