💡 Mechanic’s Pro Tip:
When installing this kit, make sure the mating surfaces inside the heater core are completely clean and free of old rubber residue. This prevents the O-rings from pinching or tearing during installation and ensures a 100% watertight seal!Apply a light coat of silicone grease to the new O-rings before sliding the pipes in.
