My car suffered an engine loss due to a cracked coolant hose (under the intake manifold) back in 2011. Got the car back together after a long hiatus in 2016 and made sure I replaced EVERY line and hose (brake lines included). So in theory we should have a good solid platform to learn with.

But now its snowing so we wait....

DUDE!!! I was just reading this and was thinking did I type that? I had the EXACT same thing happen. Pinhole lead in the pipes under the coolant hose, basically blew up the piston due to extreme heat....

I have a thread that converts all of those hoses to 4 layer silicone....

Here is my thread about it.
