I didn't loosen my motor mout because it is really close to coming out already and only needs a little more clearance.

Spent the past 3 days replacing the intake gaskets so you can imagine how fun that was. Yesterday, my temperature gauge started to climb and I smelled coolant...I was beyond mad. I thought I did all that work for nothing...come to find out, I clamped the bottom radiator hose too far from the actual radiator and it just popped off...dumping all the fresh coolant I just put in. Today, I was driving and again smelled coolant...got home, popped hood, found coolant trickling out of the water outlet @ the end of the upper hose. Pressure style clamp just couldn't handle it anymore...ended up replacing it with a band style clamp. FINALLY. AFTER 4 DAYS. NO MORE DAMN COOLANT LEAKS.

Jrp22, your images aren't showing up. Try using a link with .jpg or other photo extension.
