Just received the steam vent. no instructions came with it. I see pics on LR site but do i just shove the clear hose into the end of the fittings? The reason I ask is the end of the fitting that takes the hose has a loose collar on the end that doesn't provide a seal when I pull the collar out. Am I missing something here?

There is no check valve, so coolant will flow if there is a draw... I don't think it's a lot of coolant, but it's enough to flush any steam/air that otherwise get stuck there.

If after installing and removing the tube a few times you develop a leak, just cut off an inch of the tube and you'll get a clean smooth tube that will seal again...

Sorry Reno. Sometimes I just rush things. Got in on today and filled up the coolant, hooked up all the wiring on the motor install, and then I stripped one of the downpipe studs. DAM. I gotta get this new new motor started.
