Re: J tube on fuel injected type 4

Sorry for the confusion. But I appreciate the input. We did put rebuilt heads and jtubes on the bus. However the manifold on the one cylinder was getting hot. I think I figured it out tonight and don't know how I missed it the first time around. Somehow the nut on the valve adjuster worked its way ...

Re: J tube on fuel injected type 4

checked the gaskets everything seems to be fine. There seems to be popping in the exhaust manifold. This is a fuel injected engine and I replace the injector which seemed to help a bit but its still doing, and only in the Number 1 exhaust.

Re: 78 Westy Exhaust

[quote="Dual Port"]Those nuts are pretty rotted. Don't even bother with penetrating oil and don't touch them unless they're glowing red. If you are not familiar with heating rusted nuts with an acetylene torch pay someone who is. If you want to do the work yourself drive it to a repair shop or ...

Re: 78 Westy Exhaust

Difficult to tell from those pics. Look like round (oval). I will get some pics up tomorrow that may help.
I would start soaking those studs down with PB Blaster or something similar, Seafoam makes a penetrant as does Krol. Keep soaking them. If the studs come out when you remove the manifold
