Re: How to connect water heater to engine?
On some motors, you just remove the little hose that goes from the water pump up to the intake manifold. It's a short hose about 4" long and then connect the two hoses to your water heater to those two nipples. On other engines there will be a couple pipe plugs in that same general area that you remove and screw in some nipples. When I did this I used some "swept 90 degree" nipples to make it easier to get the hoses on and off. If you take a couple pictures of the front of the engine, it might be easy to point it out. At least post the info on what engines you have so someone could look up the model.
