huh?

You get my PM?

Yea master was corroded a bit from rusty Wisconsin

What is that intake boot valve you ordered, and which coolant safety valve are you talking about?

the safety valve protects your heater core from exploding, it was a BMW factory recall, my m42 had it,

and the valve, is the intake boot hole to oil dipstick

Im promise Im not posting to post, added loop connectors and wired alternator

added the safety valve for coolant, which Janderson will be doing, As I instructed him...

took e34 wire holder off, and wrapped the harness with tape, will use cloth tape on it tomorrow.

Bondo on, sanding tomorrow, primer tomorrow. Pleased its been 60 degrees outside

So, you're doing white bed liner? How unoriginal of you...

Thank god he instructed you to get that valve. Who knows what could have happened.

I've talked to 5 - 6 different people that have done 24V swaps, not one of them said they used or were told to use this safety valve thing you're talking about, either.

it's just a check valve, installed as part of a recall, that keeps hot coolant from spraying on your legs if the heater core bursts.

Curt cam over when wishno was doing his swap, and he was like "your going to use the safety coolant valve right?"

Exactly. Necessary? No. Good idea? Yes. I kept mine in my swap, last thing I want to do is be freaking out over the temp needle pegging and then suddenly be scalded with 250* water and 3rd degree burns all over my legs while simultaneously loosing control, hitting a tree and totaling my car.

but, I digress...

[nando]

that's basically it. you might not like matt but making fun of him for reccomending the check valve makes you sound like an ass.

[zxert]

Never heard of that either, good call Matt.

Never said I was making fun of him. All I said was that no one else I'd talked to about it said they'd used it. So who sounds like an ass?

[nando]

I never said your name, did I? ;)
