Consumer Description

WATER MANIFOLD HAS PRESS-FIT EPOYY CONNECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO COME LOOSE. MINE DID AND I LOST ALL OF MY COOLANT. IT BLEW ACROSS THE WHOLE ENGINE BAY AND OVER BACK TIRES. VERY DANGEROUS AS A CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL BEHIND ME AS WELL. TOOK ENGINE APART AND WELDED TWO OF THE FITTINGS BUT SEVERAL OTHERS REMAIN OEM. EXPENSIVE FIX THUS FAR, AND NOT YET DONE. VERY POOR DESIGN AND DANGEROUS!! *TR
