I have done 5... Im about to do my 6th one this weekend. (Engine swap and some A-hole decided to break the neck on my fire-wall when I asked them to take that hose off...) Here are some instructions on how to do it. Your first time might take 4-6 hours; so plan on wasting your hole day. You can by-pass it right now, as I have done all summer. (it's getting cold quick here in MD.) You can buy an adapter that goes from 3/4 to 5/8, and connect the two hose off the rails on the engine together. I have found that to be the best way.

Have fun... And good luck...

Its going to take some time if you do it yourself but one) you will gain tons of experience and two) you will save yourself tons of cash!

I have a feeling that my headache is gonna be my backache this weekend. Starting to get a little to cold to leave the windows down on the way to work in the morning.
The one true a** kicker about this is that I am gonna spend all this time on this and get no f*cking HP gain out of it. LOL.
