I remember these two hose are really hard to fit with engine mount (Kitfox 4)and i have to remove some elbow to change there direction..because hose hit the engine mount .

maybe That is why your builder decide two change the cylinder 🤷‍♂️

Yes, that's why, the direct line between #4 and the pump has the engine mount directly in-between.  Looking at rotating the cylinder inlet elbow.

I've not ever seen this, but swapping those two hoses shouldn't make a difference. They do equal duty and flow from the pump and through the heads.

That's my initial thought as well, but didn't want to assume.

It’s my opinion that it’s not a good idea to connect the pump outlets to cylinder tops. Hot water will rise naturally and should go to the expansion tank. Reversing that flow just for convenience makes no sense.

Wasn't that bad, only the lowers were swapped between #2 and #4 at the water pump.
