If you are talking about the open pipe, that is supposed to be open, it's the crnkcase vent. The braided hose to the right of it is the turbo drain line.
That's the plan. Hope we don't have issues like the M8 brakes :roll:. I still gotta take that back apart. I think it is a residual check valve issue, but we gotta find parts for it that don't cost my first born!
Ditto on what gimpy said. As long as they are flexible, have no cracks in them and the inside isn't swollen shut, you're golden. I replaced mine with NOS from AVTE and they are fine.
This is just a feeler out to see what/whch people prefer, t-shirts, t-tops, both, and what size. Just so I don't have a mess of stuff left over like last year :roll:
Don't know prices yet...remember, no profit, just paying me back. Last year they were a tad under $10.00 IIRC
Dunno if Mike at ODiron has the zipper ones. He has some awsome silicone one piece ones...they will be the next ones I put on. I know Norm at Antelope Valley has 'em. Since you are in Ca, order today, get 'em tomorrow. Not cheap but very fast service. I think they are the Chinese NewStar stuff.
It's a Pete 385. That POS, or another just like it, has been to my shop. When they dropped it off, all of them were real proud of it. It is an under powered, top heavy TURD!
Bring a jack stand, a nice hard base for the jack stand and ALOT of rags/brake clean! I'll be there for moral support and drink a beer while you do it! OH, don't do the non zipper ones out there, if you are gonna do it there, get the zippered ones.
Dry liners on the multi. If there are bubbles in the system, since there is no air to water places like an air compresor, 99.9% positive a head gasket or head is junk.
Here's a couple of pics of the progress. New paint, the engine runs but the fuel pump has a split diaphram so we are waiting for a modern rebuild kit. It will have new hoses as well. Should move under it's own power in a few weeks. We are getting ready for the BBQ next weekend so not much got...
Got the t-shirt s down. Simple graphics, local company, inexpensive but long wear items. I also have signs made so we can put them out for easy to find directions.
