wow i did make it home tonight without a massive attack on my engine. i did notice some things after taking it apart, did a fix before driving home and it held.. :))

1. whats with the bottom of the h-pipe? can this fail? seems like some kind of cap at the end. 2. I also might have a queefed hose on the h-pipe. BUT checked the hose connection before removing seems not.

3. The overflow tank had some gunk at the bottom? i will clean out before putting back together. 4. Its 8:35 and i hammered 4beers.. ahh

5.ohh whats the fill sensor ohm reading on tank how can you tell if bad? bus is parked and ready for parts. when i did open the front bleeder it sounded of air.. so i will bleed again

6. What a mess this make when you have a small drip..

7. Can I replace the stock hose clamps with more modern types screw clamps.

Thanks Much,

Joe
