How to install hoses in cooling system? Kitfox Lite 2, Rotax 582
Hello,
My name is Jorge from Mexico and I'm building a Kitfox Lite 2 Rotax 582. Hope you can help me with this issue.
I am installing the cooling system components in the engine.
The manual says only this:
"Install the remainder of the cooling system components using Figure F-6 as a guide."
And that's it.
But I am confused about the hoses connections. The schematic seems to be different with the engine.
Also I don't know what is the flow direction of the coolant.
I reviewed the Rotax Engine documentation, but I am very confused with the schematic.
I will appreciate any help and pictures from your own engine.
I attached the images.

Maybe this is too simplistic and I don't know anything about those engines, but can you just unbolt and flip the connection on top of the head around 180 degrees?

I believe you will find Option A best unless you relocate the oil tank.

use Option A
Coolant direction is out the thermostat side.

Sorry for my confused response. I did not see that you had options layed out already.

You can invert the hose like said.
On my brand new 582 the exit was opposite to yours
