1992 to 1996 RT/10 Long Life Silicone Radiator Hose Sets Ready..

[Sean Roe]

Hi Everyone,

We test fitted the sample hoses and have approved the production run of our new 5 piece silicone radiator hose kit for 1992 to 1996 (Gen 1 engine) RT/10's. Like the 2 piece hose kit we have for the Gen 2 engines, the highest hose point has an air bleed on it so that you can properly bleed the air from the system and comes with 100% stainless steel shielded hose clamps for long life. The hoses will be available in black and red and should arrive at our shop in about two weeks. Introductory priced at $279.95 for the complete 5 piece set. We'll have them on our website www.roeracing.com so they can be ordered online within the next day.

Tubes look GREAT, Sean. Must admit, MAJOR problem that I face as a "fluids and finish" dabbler is what to do with the fluids from several Snakes...and volume of coolant poses a bit of a difficult situation...STILL need you to save me a set of red tubes for Gen I...I'll call...Thanks!!!

It's not difficult to install them, but you probably will have to work the old hoses off their pipes. If there's corrosion on the metal tubes, the rubber hoses can stick and you have to pry and twist to get them moving.

Bleeding the air out is easy. Just unscrew the bleeder fully, fill the coolant system, cap everything back off, turn your heater valve on full heat, start the engine and run for a few moments, shut the engine off and open the bleeder on the hose slowly to let the pressure push the air out (this is higher than the fill tank), then screw the bleeder back in. Afterward, when cool, open the fill tank and top the coolant back off.

If you're not sure if your hoses are in good shape, just squeeze them. If they feel mushy or sticky, the rubber is deteriorating. It's a good idea to look at them seriously if they'r over 5 years old, but I've seen new ones fail also.

Steve,
I feel for you. All those Vipers, all that used oil and coolant. It must be awful
