I just did a rebuild on my 99 Xplorer 400 engine. I didn't mark where the hoses go from the radiator to the engine block. There are two possible combinations. I have a manual and couldn't find anything. Anybody know? Thanks.

 

on my 95 xplorer,..the one on right of radiator gose to right side of head,..one on left gose to bottom left of motor at water pump.....hope this helps...

 

As you are facing front of radiator,LEFT hose on radiator goes to water pump inlet at bottom of engine, RIGHT hose goes to top of head.(hoses are already pre formed,should be easy to tell) ALWAYS when coolant is installed,bleed small 10 mm screw at back of head (close to rear sensor) to remove any air bubbles,open screw just enough for coolant to flow out until straight coolant comes out OR can overheat and blow the new head gasket!

Well, answered before I could type fast enough. I'd go with OPT's advice any day.

 

Like I said before: I DON'T,CAN'T know it all and can't read minds! Thanks anyway!
Trying to get everything that I can out before senility hits me! OPT
