Coolant crossover tube with Radix
#1

I just noticed a small coolant leak. It's leaking from where the hose attaches to the coolant crossover. The Radix is barely touching it. Is it ok to bend the tube forward or will it break? Has anyone gone to a Corvette crossover instead?

That tube shouldn't break if you massage it a lil, it could kink if you Bend it too much , you could if needed cut it and flare the ends and use quality hose to reroute , or bend some tubing and use compression couplings to offset it .
But I bet you can just tweak it a little and be fine .

Got it fixed. One of those small cola tab looking seals had blown out. I was able to loosen it without even touching the Radix, but I did have to unbolt the tensioner bracket and accessory bracket to remove the tube for inspection and bending. I went ahead and helicoiled the bolt hole where the two brackets overlap. I stripped it out a while back. As I was finishing up and tightening all of the bracket bolts with the torque wrench, I was saying out loud "Please don't strip. Please don't strip" and fortunately none did!!
