I may have to do that yet, so far I'm not sure I can get the heat exchanger back in. The normal procedure is to remover the exhaust riser to get to the heat exchanger, but that would involve disturbing a $70 gasket and possibly open up a whole new can of worms. I would like not to do that if possible.<br /><br />If I have to pull the riser I may do what you suggest.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459069175481821975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-33475621654234853372014-09-14T22:37:59.221-05:002014-09-14T22:37:59.221-05:00If you have the room to do so, pull stud #4, drill...If you have the room to do so, pull stud #4, drill and install a heli-coil.

It caused the Tachometer and volt meter to intermitently function. Once a new blue wire was run, even our fuel guages work- which the prior owner said had failed long ago. The amount of time it took to trace the wire down as the culpret was an education for me. I only know "red to red, black to black" when it coms to electronics. <br /><br />RPM estimation by ear; and fuel level by dip stick had been my previous reliable guages.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463751847427639558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-55411532414846357362014-09-13T20:26:21.312-05:002014-09-13T20:26:21.312-05:00Fools 1 & 2?
