guys do u have to drain the coolant to install plenum spacer?

 

Exactly what makes you think that would be necessary?

 

Well i got my skunk2 plenum and on the instructions its says to drain the coolant,,so im all confused here

 

SO do I need to drain it or not????

 

i need to know ...

 

err no

 

can't say for the skunk2, but you definitely don't need to drain the coolant to install the motordyne spacer.

and you definitely don't need to drain the coolant when installing the iso-thermal components either.

if you're installing a coolant control valve (to open or close coolant hose to plenum) then you'll get some coolant spillage when you remove that hose, that's all, just wipe it away when you're done. hahaha. just like you would with your girlfriend.

 

You don't need to drain the coolant.

Have you installed your skunk spacer yet? If not please lay and align a factory plenum gasket on top of it. Then take a picture of the back center area and post it so we can see how well the two match up.


Thanks,

Earl

 

I have not installed it yet,,kinda cold outside and I want to do this thign myself...
Good to know that dont have to drain the coolant. I cant figure out why its says in their instructions to do it.
Either way,, i will take pictures when I put this thing on.

 

ill be doing it saturday after i get loaded on beer, ill post pics if i remember sunday

 

No draining...why the heck would it say it to drain...hmmm...

 

HAS ANYONE JUST BEEN LAZY AND HAD SOMEONE ELSE INSTALL THERE SPACERS

 

if you're gonna pay to have someone else do it, it should be the dealer - no worries on the warranty when you take your car in for service.

 

Too bad i cant use the stock cover. Anyone has come up with a way to use a stock engine cover with 5/8 spacer?
