3VZE Silicone Radiator Hoses
Been searching, but can't locate any info on 3VZE Silicone Radiator Hose Kits, do they exist, and if they do, what's the quality like? I've just purchased a New Aluminium Radiator (3 core with solid aluminium upper and lower tanks) so I'm trying to upgrade the complete system.
Any ideas guys?

WAB-FAB, who is waskillywabbit on this forum sells them:

Another: http://www.lcengineering.com/LCNewsl...l/April11.html
They tend to take come cutting and fitting. I've never had a Toyota hose blow or leak, but I do change them every timing belt change, 60-90,000 miles.

Hmmm, I don't recalling seeing any kits this morning with the preformed silicone heater hoses in them for the 3vze. I saw them for engines known for a bit more performance than the 'ol 3vze. Good luck on the search.
eBay.au may turn up something....

They sell bulk silicone heater hose by the foot, in sizes ranging from .25"-1.25" ID.

Summit has a silicone heater hose kit for a Toyota 3.0L, except it's for the 7M-GE(not the 3VZ-E).
PS, rworegon, I think you're going to have to change the title of the link in your sig from "P/N & diagrams (source for OEM on east coast)"to "P/N (source for OEM on east coast)". The diagrams on that site have been gone for about a week(as utoyot8.com is now a part of history). And, since the part numbers on that site can be a challenge to decipher(since they're missing the first 2 digits), ToyotaPartsZone.com is a better source(COMPLETE part numbers provided in basically the same format).
