Water pipe connections on plenum chamber

Post by vdub boy 1 »

Can anyboby tell me where the two waterpipe connections ( I presume they are water pipes) that are beneath the air intake on the plenum chamber go and do I need them connected or can I just block them off?

cheers

Leigh

Presumably they keep the intake air a bit warmer than it otherwise would be.

You can remove the whole unit, but make sure you plug the two bolt holes at the back.

This will alow you to remove the rocker covers with out removing the plem.
