we did! and it blew the seal in about 1 second replaced with a O-ring it blew.....then went and got another better seal and it blew,then replaced with a new oil drain plug and seal and it blew 18mmx1.5 pitch and yup it blew the seal also

the problom is it is not suppose to seal on the end of the plug the stock valve that threads in is tapered and actually seats in there and seals that way.....DUH

the problom was that the valve was too long to fit back in there because of the MASSIVE Y bridge:D so Ted cut er off and welded it shut
we laughed thinking WTF didnt we just do that in the first place
thankfully Mike didnt say i was dumb for not thinking about it:D

I thought we did think about it but we came up with a reason not too. Dual feed idea maybe?? I can't remember.

Wow, I was afraid you call me a redneck for suggesting it. Glad you got it fixed Simon.

well we still can add the duel feed line,the lb7 feeds 2 times into the rail on the DS and only once into the PS so i can always tap into the PS with that hose,But I think your right that that is why we didnt do that at first....that was a long time ago:D

That reminds me! I still got to go pick that hose up,I need to get something else to leak now

Good to hear you got it running. Hopefully you can get the bugs worked out and actually take it for a spin (with video ;))
