Blew my upper rad. hose off twice this week
I blew my upper rad. hose off twice this week. I know with some other cars I've had the thermostat tends to get sticky if they haven't been driven in a while.
I'm just wondering if that's my problem here, my SVX was sitting for a couple of months waiting for a window to come from Japan. Anyone ever have a problem with this hose coming off? I'm pretty sure it's a result of pressure build-up from the thermostat not opening. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Scott |

I think the hose was not tight enough. The radiator cap should blow before the hose comes off. Defective clamp?
