Two thumbs up for this valve. Very good quality, install was cake(less then 15 mins) and the end result is well worth it. No problems as of yet. Highly recommended!

 

ya quick and easy install is you can get hte one time use clamps off. i only had neddle nose pliars and a small screw driver

Yeah getting the clamps off was the hardest part. I don't know who designs those damn things...

 

I dont know about you guys but i got a 97 and i installed it from the top and getting some of those clamps off was a pain...i had to squeeze my hand down in there and it was getting burned on the engine and cut on the fan...my hand was swollen for a day or two after installing it, but it was worth it lol

 

Were you too intimidated by the belly pan?? What you did is like trying to clean the inside of a blender with the motor on "pulverize."

 

i thought i read it was easier to do it in like 99 and earlier from the top, and it seemed like it was right there so it would be easier...and ya the belly pan does look intimidating lol

 

belly pan is easy its like 6 screws

 

ok so abou this clicking for tension? what is everyone running? tee is at 10. do they recommend 11 or what? and I'm assuming that the install is in reverse of how stock is? the side port hose now goes to the bottom and the bottom port hose now goes to the side. and of course the vacuum hose goes to the vacuum port? how mnay clicks would you run if you had my mods? thanks

 

It doesnt have to be exact. 8-10 clicks should be good if you are chipped.
