My answer was to the intercooler leak, not brakes. Brakes should never have any sealer of any type, anywhere.

Whoops, so it was.. I jumped the gun there a bit.

 

[Rttoys]

No biggie.

Are you sure? Brake fluid is very corrosive. I don't know if that's a good long term fix. Plus if not wrapped well, the tape could interfere with the tapered seat and make the problem worse.

My vote is to follow Lonny's directions above

For the brakes I did loosen and crank it back down. The seeping is 95% gone. One last connection in the morning. The Teflon question was about the heat exchanger leaks. Thanks for you concern though

 

[Lonny]

The plastic elbows should be installed with Teflon tape or some sort of sealer.
When installing the brass fittings into the aluminum brake adaptors you should use some red Loctite as a sealant.
Not on the brake lines or hoses.

If you own a compressor and need to bleed a new brake system and clutch. Do yourself a favor and get one of these. https://www.harborfreight.com/brake-fluid-bleeder-92924.html. Your quads will thank you later

Used this to bleed the fluid from the brakes during disassembly. Worked like a charm.

Where does this attach?

Thank you Ark

Is the check valve necessary? If so, should it allow flow only from the valve cover to the intake?

There is a check valve there from the factory, so I put a check valve in there in my build. Obviously, so did @JBINTX ... whether it's necessary or not, I cannot say.

It should flow TOWARD the valve cover.

The vacuum system is not as simple as some other engines - especially since you have a turbo.
I suggest you read this thread which covers a little more than your question asked, but will enlighten you nonetheless.

So there are plenty of references to the build up of carbon and gunk on the intake valves. Several videos are available about walnut blasting and such. Of course, the emission restrictions drove many of the systems that did not exist on engines years ago. I think we are all deleting the EVAP...

No seat but 2 shipping blankets worked to take her out on her maiden voyage. Still have to wire the brake lights and figure out why the passenger low beam is so dim. I know that usually means a bad ground but the high beam is fine.

Sweet

So in my rush to do everything I riveted on the tunnel without mounting my ebrake I’m thinking Riv-nuts are my only option now. Am I correct?

 

[Ross]

Rivnuts are nice for future access, but nothing is stopping you from drilling out the rivets, and installing new rivets when you are done.

Got my seats today. The passenger (of course) went together flawlessly. The driver when a bolt was about 3/4 of the way in it stopped and snapped. It was not cross threaded I was being super careful. I think I had a faulty bolt. Then when trying to drill it out to retap it the bit snapped. Not I’m at a loss.

On a side not I ordered planted tech seat brackets. Came up with a clever design. Instead of putting flat stock in to take up the 1/2” gap I drilled and taped 2 holes then ran a bolt from the bottom up to apply tension.

I think that’s the best looking seats that I have seen ! Top notch

I may have to buy another set. I can not extract the broken bolt or drill bit and welding is not an option.
