This one arrived Saturday from Awesome Powdercoat. I havent installed it yet, but thought I'd post a couple of photos.
 The opening temps are appropriate for the TypeIV, showing the markings....  So far, it popped right into the mount with a factory like fit. Very nice. I may try to get it installed today, and will throw in some pics in action...made hier in das gut old USA. |

As a follow up...I noticed on the way back from Conn. last week that it took longer than what I expected to warm up. Figgered it was just that there was no traffic (imagine!) but didn't pay it much nevermind cause it was running right at 210-215. Then noticed the same thing yesterday morning. After it cooled I changed the oil, and while under there noticed something hanging down...

It was the cable nut of the bellows, dangling... Then I remembered only finger tightening it when I installed the bellows,..dumbass... Hooked it back up, snugged it with the trusty 10mm wrench, and drove the wife to see her girlfriends. Back the way it was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
