well found a frayed wire to my purge control valve--fixed that and installed a different front 02 sensor. The one coming out did look like it had not enjoyed the ride. Better now but havent took a ltft look as of yet---need to drive it a little.
Now also getting a 2004 code---seems my apv is a little sticky---sigh will it ever end----HOPE NOT!

Looks nice, how hard was it to re-route the coolant lines?

Thanks,

I'm not an expert but the coolant line was not hard to reroot:
The only point to think of is a T hose from under the reservoir to the top of the rad.

No heat shield yet...but I will work on this too soon.
I'll wait to lift my car so I'll take out the pipe going to the header.

If you end up working on a heat shield, I would like to see one down like Racing Beats shield for thier TII engines,,, Very simple, very clean, looks easy to install also considering our engine bays, and maybe instead of having the studs comd off the LIM they could be incorporated into the exhaust mani bolts.

Thanks Phil---great pics and exactly what I was looking for--looks like he used 3" aluminum pipe+connectors.
I am thinking of using a 3 1/2 OD pipe.

Well, almost completed Wesses install but hit a road block. Ok , I went to remove the bolts to hold the heat exchanger and spun the metal tab that seats in the plastic of the rad. Any ideas?

Moon--- you talking about the oem radiator --right?
sounds like it is a nut and bolt time? Just drill through and use a nut on the backside or reem the plastic out and install a nut there--anchor with a good automotive silicone sealant like window weild.

Got ya RR and thanks--no rush just dont forget me?

While you're at it Denny (or anyone else), I need a source for new oil cooler hoses. The junctions on mine look like they were hand-packed with Ohio salt and then wrapped in Saran wrap to enjure maximum corrosion. Now is the time to replace while the clip is off. I've been searching the net but can't find any OEM source.

Question Need to confirm if what I did is correct !

Ok So you know that I change my oem coolant tank for an alluminium one.
if you look at the pict attached, you'll see the OEM one with numbers.

#1 - don't car about that one !
#2 - return for the thermostat.
#3 - going to the engine.
#4 - going (or return ?) to the radiator.

my question:
As My new tank does not have 4 hose plug, I tee the #4 hose in the #3 way.
Is it correct ?

HELP WANTED

thanks

i wouldnt do that---the number 4 is an overflow and PRESSURE RELEASE, by piping it back to the engine the excess pressure/air bubbles have no were to go.
Others please correct me if i am wrong.
