Does your otterstat install on the top of the pipe by chance? If it does, loosen the hose clamps and rotate the pipe so the otterstat fitting is on the bottom of the pipe. This ensures that there is always coolant on the otterstat element. Also, a cable tie is good insurance for the clip. -- Mike -------------- Original message from "trdstne71" <trdstne71@xxxxxxxxx>: -------------- > Hello! > > New to the group...
