My feed line came loose recently at the reservoir fitting also and started leaking. @mrblaine do you ever use loctite on AN fittings or is there a torque spec?
We always use Red on the threads into the reservoir. That lets us tighten the crap out of the flare fittings and not have them break the other threads loose when we have to remove them. Also stops the small bit of weeping that always seems to happen.
Mine came loose at the flare. I will use some red loctite on the reservoir threads and then put on my big boy pants and get that flare fitting tighter this time.
The only way it "should" have come loose is if the hose is too short and the engine movement is pulling on it. Other than that, even just snug they don't generally come loose.
Now that you mention movement, I did have a motor mount fail recently. The excessive movement of the engine may have loosened it. I believe the hose is long enough. I will reinstall the fittings and monitor it closely.
No, that was just all you not getting it tight. Hose is plenty long. Angle is good, just you.
Thanks , I understand. "All my fault".
The problems can be many or none. The issue lies in the fact that the left side stop controls how far the other side can turn and vice versa. It doesn't take much to over turn either side when the opposite side controls the angle and tear up a u-joint an or yoke from yoke bind.
Ok. I realize they are one item I forgot to transfer over when I installed the BBK 2 years ago. I've been running without them.
3/8-24 and if you don't round the head over, it just bends the bolt.
