Water in engine room

So it only showed up at higher RPM. Makes sense.

If the fittings are long enough, use double clamp preferably solid band clamps. It takes very little rust on a perforated clamp for one to fail

Also even more so on the water good quality hose clamps, Auto Tech and see cheap ones fail just from heat expansion.

Double clamping everywhere possible is recommended. I find smearing a corrosion inhibitor on clamps is helpful. Also rinsing hoses off and a bit of phosphoric will neutralize rust residue on the hoses. On critical hoses, I place extra clamps on ready to slide in place if need be. Good clamps will fail sooner or later. This is all based on a similar experience to yours years ago.

Comes under New never means good Found a few places on my 67 31C I can triple clamp. I love the extra clamps on ready idea. Then again seen your Engine Room Altho smaller hope mine looks that sweet some day.
