Nice job!! Very well done and explained. 👍
Good video, but I should add a couple things: 1-You put your thread tape on backwards. 2- dont bury those fittings into the valve with a wrench. They WILL eventually crack. At the least, use more thread tape and less torque with a wrench. 3- Best practice is to use 2 clamps, placed with opposing "heads", on each hose barb connection. On short barbs, use 2ea mini clamps. That's my 2 cents. No charge😅
Great point!
Great job, well explained
Would be nice to see this on a supercharged one I can't figure out which pipe to cut :(
can you also flush engine with valve closed as if in a slip ?
use brass ball valve. Those plastic valves are known to crack.
Would be fine, the plastic is heavy duty on the link I shared.
@@LetsCalculateSomething Not to mention a lot less likely to allow a build up of crud like most metals in water do regardless of material.
What year and type of ski are you working on in this video?
Just carry a plastic pinch plier and don't do any of that work. You have it if you or someone else needs a tow.
Good luck with that.
how is this holding up ?
Could’ve used the heat gun. It would’ve probably worked better heat the hose up.
I didn’t have one, but agree.
What size valve would I need to order for a vx cruiser 2020
The video explains how to check
Was this on the 1.8?
Yes
This is not a 1.8L engine. It’s the TR-1, 1,049cc.
