Hmmm. I'm thinking that I may have to do this job as well... I will be putting my engine in within the next couple of days but I noticed coolant out of the pee hole on the firewall. I had no prior symptoms of a bad heater core before I took my engine out so I am hoping that some coolant sprayed around when I took out the engine. What do you think?

Jeff did you remember to put the restrictor or a small socket in the hose?

Which hose does the restrictor need to go in? I know I do not have one at all.

Can I ask a dumb question and ask what the point of the restrictor is for? To limit the flow to the core and provide more coolant to the engine?

The one I put in a month ago had the restrictor already installed in the hose. I bought the lmr hoses.


@MikeH686 it's supposed to limit the pressure inside the core to help prevent failure.

They're selling OE Ford ones over there as well now. I don't need one but snagged one while they're available. I've heard (and maybe it's not true) that anything other than a Ford core is a gamble, so when the time comes I'll be ready.
