Hey I recently reattached my heater core as it was previously disconnected due to faulty tap. Im hoping to find a picture of how the coolant hoses are layed out and where the inlet and outlet connect. Im pretty sure I have it right atm but im concerned cause the engine feels to be running a bit hotter so id like to see if ive missed anything..Anyway its a 82 mq lwb l28
Cheers!

Yea I had a look at that a few times however it contradicts 3 posts of engine bays thst ive seen. A bit hard for me to interpret but I figure one heater hose connects to the head (@ The hole which has a bung in it currently) and the other somewhere between the radiator and water pump.. something so simple ugh haha

Here are some pictures that might help here is the current setup:
44781
44782
Now as far as I can tell this is correct judging from other setups ive seen but I feel like it makes the engine run hotter (faulty temp sensor so unsure) and it makes sense cause without the heater the cold water hose was runnning into the block providing suficient cooling.. so im considering trying this as an alternative..
44783
44784

Any ideas would be appreciated.. id say fuck it and try both but im wary without a temp sensor to alert me if shes cooking
Cheers
