Pressure testing my son's '87 cooling system not only revealed head gasket
leaks, but a big leak at one of the plastic pipes to the radiator.  I can
see that this is the problem:

It looks like the PO tightened a hose clamp so tight the plastic pipe is
deformed, but I'm thinking that judicious application of heat will soften it
and let me tap the steel sleeve back in.

Has anyone on the list had any experience installing this kit?:

It seems like it should be preventive maintenance for all '86-'91 vans.
