Fluid conduit assembly for connecting orthogonally oriented fluid connections

A coolant conduit assembly, comprising:

• a first rigid tube arcuately extending from a first proximal end portion to a first distal end portion, the first proximal end portion including a first fitting adapted to be connectable to a cylinder cooling collar, and the first distal end portion extending along a first distal axis, wherein the first proximal end portion is oriented at an acute angle with respect to the first distal end portion;
• a second rigid tube arcuately extending from a second proximal end portion to a second distal end portion, the second proximal end portion including a second fitting adapted to be connectable to an engine coolant deck, and the second distal end portion extending along a second distal axis;
• and
• a coupling connecting the first distal end portion and the second distal end portion for coolant communication therebetween;
• wherein the first rigid tube is rotatably positionable with respect to the cylinder cooling collar, whereby the first distal axis and the second distal axis are substantially coaxially aligned when the first fitting is connected to the cylinder cooling collar and second fitting is connected to the engine coolant deck.

A cylinder coolant supply assembly, comprising:

• a cylinder cooling collar positionable around an engine cylinder;
• an engine coolant supply deck;
• a first rigid tube arcuately extending from a first proximal end portion to a first distal end portion, the first proximal end portion including a first fitting connected to the cylinder cooling collar, and the first distal end portion extending along a first distal axis;
• a second rigid tube arcuately extending from a second proximal end portion to a second distal end portion, the second proximal end portion including a second fitting connected to the engine coolant supply deck, and the second distal end portion extending along a second distal axis;
• and
• a coupling connecting the first distal end portion and the second distal end portion for coolant communication therebetween;
• wherein the first rigid tube is rotatably positionable with respect to the cylinder cooling collar, whereby the first distal axis and the second distal axis are substantially coaxially aligned.
