Bill ;

No worries, everyone only knows one when first they begin .

One of the first things taught to Mechanics (and often the first thing they forget) is : in any hydraulic system, absent valves to create differences, the pressure remains equal throughout the system .

So, all the coolant hoses have the same pressure .

I'm surprised the silicone hose didn't kink when you forced it into the 'S' bends necessary .
