F. Remove the factory O-ring type gaskets to pre-
vent damage from heat. Clamp the steel hose
barb end of the coolant crossover tube in a vise
as shown. Using a small amount of heat, heat the
aluminum crossover tube. Using a twisting motion,
remove the steel insert. (See Fig. 5.1-d.)
Penetrating oil will also aid in this step.
G. Locate the supplied 1-1/4" expansion plug
(7P125-002).
H. Coat the expansion plug with sealant. Using a tube
or socket that matches the recessed diameter of
the plug, install the plug flush with the machined
surface sealing the outlet of the crossover tube.
(See Figs. 5.1-e, 5.1-f.)
I. Locate the supplied coolant relocation fitting, sealing
nut and O-ring washer. (See Fig. 5.1-g.)
J. Install the fitting in the location of the factory cool-
ant bleed plug. (See Fig. 5.1-h.) Screw the jam
nut all the way onto the fitting. Tighten the fitting in
the position shown. (See Fig. 5.1-h.) Secure with
the jam nut.
K. Reinstall the factory O-ring gaskets to the cross-
over tube.
L. Set the coolant crossover tube back in its original
location.
M. Reinstall the two 10mm headed bolts through the
crossover tube into the cylinder heads.
Temporarily install two intake manifold retaining
bolts through the crossover tube into the cylinder
heads, where the manifold will be secured. Leave
these loose as they are there only as a pilot for
the crossover tube.
N. Tighten the crossover tube retaining bolts, and
remove the two manifold retaining bolts.
NOTE: It is recommended that sealant be
used to seal the thread of the fitting.
