I had the air cleaner off of my '91 over the weekend. I noticed a small diameter coolant hose under the air cleaner - it appeared to be rubbing on the bottom of the cleaner such that the hose was noticeably thinner in this area. Seems a bit of a design flaw - I'm going to replace it, and perhaps slip a piece of larger diameter stock over the rub point in an attempt to prevent this wear in the future. Y'all might want to check yours. -Blaine (not a southerner despite the "y'all") |
