Mine should be here today.. ill wait for your experiences before i start taking the compression fittings out .

 

If you guys need any tips on removing the fittings feel free to pm me, I'll tell you how I did it.

 

you should post it lorax, unless its some kind of disclaimer deal... that way searchers can see it inthe future.

i wish mine were black!

 

I got the blue ones... . They are not as light as they look in the picture. I used to not like them because of that but now that i see them in person they should look nice under the engine .

 

oh boy.. someone take teh wrench away..

(they go on top of the engine. )

 

Yep, for the next few orders the lines will be black. They are still high temp but just with a black textile wrap in place of the blue.

 

6 hours and 12 iced teas later, my fuel lines are in!
pix coming soon.
1 question though; the one fuel line that goes from the dampener to the wheel well is very close, almost touching, the intake manifold. I know the manifold gets very hot and was wondering if that is ok? or should I try to move / fix it?
thanks alot travis!

Tough to get the compression fittings off at the hardlines? Going to do mine tomorrow i think..should be easy with the top end of my motor already off.. .

 

You can use a small pipe cutter or a fine-toothed hacksaw blade... just the blade. Easy as pie.

 

the compression fittings took me about 30 min before I said screw it and got out the dremel and tossed the hacksaw. its not as tough as you would think. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I have to say, it would have only taken 2 hours if I didnt have to;
1. Get a pipe cutter from home depot
2. calling to annoy Travis every half hour
3. Have 2 of the "easy to remove" bolts get stuck on me.
still wondering about the intake manifold question (see my previous post)

PICTURES!

 

question bump
thx

Seb, how did you cut the fittings with the Dremel, just across the fitting length wise or side to side? Just curious. Going to be doing it myself tomorrow.

What did you need the pipe cutter for?

 

I'd recommend cutting lower, behind the wheel well. But that means that you have to remove the tire and liner.

 

I was going to use the pipe cutter for cutting lower, behind the wheel well, but when I asked Travis about it, he said it was a bad idea, due to the lack of a proper fitting.
I cut length-wise with the dremel, that way it will just peel off.
