Reviving old thread for some additional input:
Kalifornia owners - any issues passing smog check (visual inspection) with Provent installed? Can someone advise on provent valve holes diameter for the stock (non-tuned) car? Any tips for removing / re-installing dipstick guide tube (specifically lower bolt)? Should I use worm clamps to secure vacuum hose extension? Should I use clamps to secure 1/2" oil drain tube (T / 90-degree / valve)? Any recommendation for the CCV plate pentagon bolts torque specs? |

Huge thanks to ZetaTre and sgrice for the guide, pictures and parts.
I got base parts manufactured and positioned (no piping yet). Spent too much time time removing 3" vacuum link. Any advise how to remove lower dipstick bolt? I can not reach it from the top. Also, there is AD piping near lower dipstick mounting section. |
POBEP - it's been several years since I did my installation, so I don't remember all the specifics, but here are my thoughts:
1) Advice on lower dipstick bolt - all I can remember is that it was really far down, but I did get to it from the top. No way it was reachable while standing next to the engine compartment. I remember putting a bunch of padding (old towels and bathmats) on top of the engine and then having to lie on top of the engine and reach my arm way down. As I think I noted, it probably looked like I was doing something obscene to the engine. Cannot remember whether I used socket extensions, but it is certainly possible. 2) I used worm clamps for the vacuum hose and the oil drain tube connections. 3) No idea about the CCV plate torque values. As I recall I just snugged it up to roughly what it had seemed like to remove. I seem to recall there is a rubber gasket so the torque was not too high. Hope that helps. Good luck. |
