[Engine] W Pipe refit question ASAP! - DMCTalk.com forums

Spittybug · 12-31-2009, 04:57 PM

The W pipe (air horn) or whatever you choose to call it, mounts onto the intake with 4 bolts, 2 paper gaskets, 2 o rings and 2 spacers. So here's my dumb question since I haven't been able to find it in my searches..... what is the order of the o rings and the spacers? Do the spacers "touch" the throttle body or the W pipe??? I've tried both and can't rationalize which is the correct way.

Thanks for a quick answer since I'm running out of daylight!

The plastic spacers get put on the w-pipe first, then the o-rings.

As suspected.... thanks for the confirmation.

I know I’m a little slow and you already got the correct info above.

This is why I love John Hervey’s web site because he has lots of reference pictures. They are a little scattered on the page though.

You’ll have to scroll down ¾ to the bottom.
