Al;  I hope that silicone rubber hose works better on rotarys than it does on International trucks, they have had a night mare with that stuff for leaking glycol.  JohnD

Hum-m-m.  I guess we’ll keep an eye on that.  The silicone hoses are considered an upgrade because of higher temp and strength characteristics.  I’m not aware of any compatibility problems with EG.  A quote from one vender - With aggressive driving comes very high water temps that really push the limits of the stock radiator hoses. Silicone hoses are a upgrade that will help keep your engine safe at high operating temps. Silicone is durable and more resistant to bursting and cracking.

 

I’ve pressure tested mine to 40 psi with no leaks.
