Well, i got done with my sk2 IM install, and have a Q for you guys/ there is a 3/8" coolant inlet/outlet connected to the larger one that goes into the head. now, the larger one is used, but the little one needs to be plugged off. i got a large bolt and 3/8' hose and put the bolt through it to see if it would work. Its working, but its SLIGHTLY leaking. is there anything else i can use/buy thats made specifically to plug a 3/8' pipe?


Thanks
Rob

 

I just bought a set of vacuum caps to plug the smaller coolant port. I wouldn't recommend doing what you are doing, just buy some vacuum caps at your local autoparts store.

 

coo. im just afriad of it blowing out. theres not that much pressure going thoguh those lines is there? i would assume if any there would be positive pressure?

 

There is a little bit of pressure but the vacuum plugs come in several different sizes, so just stick one on there that fits very snugly and it shouldn't give you a problem. I have had mine plugged for a few months with no problems.

 

nice, yeah i got a 3/8's vacuum plug. ima put it on but im afraid of doing it b/c i know theres gonna be coolant spilling

 

Just use a small zip tie to keep it on if you are that worried about it. It should be fine.

 

well no, i mean once i take the plug out, its gonna leak untill i plug it up again. i have a 3/8 cap with a clamp on it ready to go.

 

will this pulley work?

 

Yes

 

yeah sweet. i was reluctant b/c of it having 2 spots for the cable. its actually a throttle pulley from a automatic car, which is why it has taht extra cable spot.


thanks alot schmoo, uve been alot of help

thank
