Thanks, that was very interesting and informative, especially your insights about vacuum leaks (here and in other videos). Luckily, my SC already had a pop-off valve installed when I got it. I'd love to see an expose on the 911SC timing chain tensioner issue if you are looking for new topics.
Thanks! I'll try bringing my hoses down there in a few weeks, did you have to cut off the old ones for them? Or can I bring mine with the old crimped lines on so they can reference it when they re-make them?@@JoeEngineer
@@JoeEngineer Yes exactly. That cavity does not yield itself to best airflow, i think small velocity stack colors would help allot right on those openings to the individual rudders. Looks at AMG 63 ROW airboxes. They have velocity stacks even that far away form the engine to help the airflow.
Great video on the boxes. Really appreciate your onsite. The boxes do have an OEM pressure relief system built in from the factory. It works but old brittle boxes will develop cracks even with this in place. Kurt Donahue of Klassik automotive training explains it well in his CIS rebuild video.
Hey Joe, Love your videos. You should do a video on adding a fuse to the unfused light circuits on the SC. Would save alot of people some hassle. Suprised no one has done this yet. I believe the ash tray light and the ventilation light are a couple of the main ones. Had a friend burn a meter of wiring changing the radio, because he accidentally nudged the ash tray light in the process, which had no fuse. Heaps of info on pelican parts, but no videos.
Nice video, very informative. I know it's very tight trying to do any work with those components whilst in the car. I've got to replace the intake runner boots and planning to partially drop the engine by loosening / undoing the engine mounts, leaving the fuel, electrical lines, driveshafts in place. Do you think that would create enough room to remove the airbox?
Yes, I've heard of a partial drop to get a little more access. I would go all the way and drop it completely down to work comfortably around the CIS, especially around behind the airbox. If the boots need attention, it's likely other rubber parts do as well.
@@JoeEngineer Thanks, engine will come out someday. For now I've got to fix a few oil leaks at the top of the engine and replace the intake rubbers as this was the source of the vac leak when doing a smoke test.
