That does look good. Like I said, mine has given me no issues and it’s been on a year or more. I run a cooler thermostat, 170 degree if I remember right.
i got one today. the end for the radiator, i am going to cut a short piece from the old one to act as a bushing between the new hose and the radiator. i picked up a 160 thermostat. i will see what how the cooler one does.
