Got the power steering hoses all done up... So the only thing thats keeping me from filling the cooling system is the heater hoses. Well one problem I had to get past--the water control valve when bolted to the firewall was hitting the EGR. So I was origionally going to cut the mount and shorten it so it was closer to the firewall. Well I looked at it some more--and found I was able to bend the bracket so the valve was closer to the firewall and slightly twisted. Gave about 1/4" clearance to the egr valve---should work nicely. But I found the stock taco hose that went to the valve to be too short and ended up lenghthing the hose roughly 6" with a piece of metal/hose clamps. The other hose was long enough to come up and over the water valve and right onto the heater core.
