my heater hose is pinched?

so I have been replacing my heater core. I needed new heater hoses. I could get the premolded ones. but they are more expensive. so I got the bulk. which was practically free. any way. because of the tight corners it pinches a little. how bad is this. will it expand over time. or do I need to go get the premolded one.

    if it,s rubbing on something it might start to leak sometime ! i have before sliced a old heater hose and wrapped it around the new heater hose so it won,t rub a hole in it !

    You need to get the pre-molded hoses for a proper fit and function.

    Cut it to the right length and that won't happen unless you have to make an elbow turn with it. In that case splice in an elbow connector and your ok.
