[DML] Re: Sharp Edges Under Intake Manifold

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What in the world do you have going on under your intake manifold? The
only thing resembling "sharp edges" under mine are block cooling fins,
and they are anything but sharp (1/4" wide perhaps?). Hose just lays
across the anyway. I'd be more worried about close proximity of the
hose clamps on the aluminum lines under the car -- especially up front
(very difficult to attach those hoses).

Speaking of which, if "suction" was such a problem, how do you explain
the nearly 4 feet of rubber hose before and after the aluminum line
under the car? (part of which was the 2' -- notice single foot tic --
in my previous post, not 2").

I still maintain the only purpose of that silly steel pipe under the
intake manifold is to locate a hose barb where production line workers
could reach it during vehicle assembly.
