I got a full set of silicone radiator hoses for my v6 mustang.
They come with worm clamps, but I see people using the stock ford tension spring clips in review photos. Is either or both preferable? I read the worms need to be tight, 2 fingers on a 1/4" socket tight.
I also have a few tubes of Permatex Blue RTV for coolant. Should I smear it on anything?
I heard silicone hoses have less grip and more tendency to pop off. Part of me wants to avoid that.
Any other install tips greatly appreciated, there seems to be no install instructions from mishimoto.
