I see your point now. I just was not planning on replacing the fuel line "stubs" to the injectors at this time.
My car is a L-jet US-car (even though I am located in Europe..)

I'll e-mail Roger and see what he can offer me. Maybe I do the injector "stubs" too.

Thanks!

Its not too difficult a job on our 84's to pull the rails. They really get baked.

The hardest line is the supply line running upward from below, past the passenger side exhaust manifold. I actually can't get this one loose on one of my cars --- just reminded me to look at that again!


Roger told a story of driving one that was so bad that it was spraying towards the manifold and somebody put a piece of metal up in there to divert the spray!

Sorry, still figuring my way around the engine. Where is the heater control valve found, and what is the short hose?

Thanks

Directly behind and somehwat under the air cleaner box is a short straight heater hose. It connects to a plastic heater valve.

The valve is actually normally open, so sometimes the vac is disconnected or the diagphram fails, leaving the heat "on" all the time.

Anyway, that little hose splits and spews antifreeze. The hose is only a few inches long, but its got two different sized ends, meaning you need to buy the right replacement part. Stan is suggesting you proactively replace it.

Check out Dwayne's picture threads for the 87 intake job and the 87 timing belt job for a real cool introductory look at the S4 engine externals.

Excellent. Thank you both.
