New hoses would be a good idea but I think I'm good for awhile. I have more pressing issues.

As long as they are working. I had purchased some "Made in Mexico" hoses from the local Advanced Auto. They didn't fit properly and leaked coolant. They rubbed against the drive belts which wore a hole in one of the hoses. I then sourced Gates radiator hoses and they have been GREAT.

Curious how some time and perspective can alter what was at first perceived to be a seeming disaster into a fortuitous turn of events.

Nice. Well done. Congratulations.
