K9 Rebuild/Upgrade

[Snuffy]

it looks like it was cut and rewelded. That looks promising. Fingers crossed for you

Wow...are you referring to the top weld? I ask because the top doesn't look like a factory weld to me.

 

[Snuffy]

Yes. If I remember correctly there was no welds there.

 

[82ndAirborne]

Thanks Snuffy.

Ask knothead to send you a picture of the Blow Exhaust I bought and sold to him. I know they were stock with no mods.

 

[Snuffy]

He also has the set I bought from Barnes. But they were the same as the left side drive.

 

[82ndAirborne]

Will do. He's been putting in alot of overtime lately and may be a while getting back to me..

Looks like the exhaust is going to work. I just held the front exhaust flush with the exhaust port and the clearance on the gear cover was fine. Didn't check the back pipe...if I'm correct the problem was with the front?

That’s awesome to hear. All of my blow exhaust has a weld at the top btw. I was thinking Knot said something about the sensor port was in the wrong place…I could be wrong and probably am. Glad you got them though

 

[Snuffy]

Just wish he had done mine like that instead of lying to me. Oh well just my luck. Glad you got em

Rear pipe is the issue mostly because flange angle not seating in the head correctly when your trying to clear the transmission...the front pipe will then not align up with the rear because of the rear at an odd angle

There really isnt an issue with the bungs location on the blow exhaust.

The bung location that I think your are remembering is when I did Snuffys big radius pipes...his pipes didnt have bungs and I had to put bungs in for him

 

[82ndAirborne]

I guess I really won't know for sure until I try to install them completely. If they'll go on I think I'll be satisfied...even if they don't align perfectly.

If I'm understanding correctly you're saying that you're having to swing out the rear pipe to clear the transmission and then it sticks out further than the front. We're you able to solve the problem?

They have to be cut and rewelded. I never modified a set of them for rsd. But if Andrew didnt do it then they will not fit period

 

[82ndAirborne]

Thanks. If the weather holds out I'll try to install them this weekend.

 

[Jwooky]

FYI, this is a LSD pipe I modified to fit RSD.

I did pretty much what is being described. The rear pipe was pie cut to kick it out for trans clearance and rewelded. The front pipe and heat shields did not need modification.

Picked up the oil tank and battery Box yesterday...beautiful job! Also had my old gear cleaned up and Cerakoted...looks brand new. Best $200 I've spent on the build.

Need some help on Oil line installation. Connecting to the oil filter, there are two fittings. Do I have this right; the Inner Oil Filter Fitting is connected to the short oil line coming from the back side of the pump, the outer Oil Filter Fitting is connected to a long return line that goes back to the Oil Tank?

 

[82ndAirborne]

Help! Do I have the oil Lines connected correctly?
