mines running great... i noticed that 2 inches of hose
when i was putting the head on so i lifted the head up and
slid it on...


i dont think you would have to totally remove the water pump just about 2
inches...

goosh that is one of those little details that kill you....

if i remember ther is about 1/4 or 1/2 inch of room between them..

i would get the smallest piece of hose i could find and i would strech it
and see if i could slide it between...i know it sounds stupid but i would really try something..
