So I just got my 1/2 in. iso thermal spacer from motordyne and I was just wondering if I have to install the coolant control valve. I was trying to screw the two hose connecters in but they dont screw in all the way. Any help would be greatly appreiciated.

 

if it's a basic install then u kinda follow the md instruction - xcpt you only remove the upper plenum push it back and slip the spacer in - dont touch anything else to complicate things - for the basic spacer install you only remove the 18 bolts on the upper plenum - u dont have to disconnect any hoses or any intake bolts - once 18 bolts are out - pust the plenum back - put the spacer in - tiny hands help here because the opening is small - put plastic spacers in - bolt them - done

for the thermal spacer and the other gasket and mrev2 you have to take the intake - remove or disconnect like 5 different hoses etc...

 

so i just watched the video for installation of the md iso thermal spacer which is what i bought and this should be fun

 

the video freaked me out - so it came down to the basic md or blox - got the blox for $85 total with fedex - happy......

same thing.... i like the black spacer look very much....

 

plus with the basic md or blox the install took literally 20 mins - i kid u not - if i ever take it out i know it be only 20 mins max...

happyy....

 

sorry... your question... u don't have too but if u paid for it then>>/????

don't know man thats a hard decision - just throw it away... my blox is 5/8 or 1/8 inch taller than your 1/2 md right???

i did fast install - if you're jsut starting - chuck the other stuff out and do a fast one...

 

Thanks for the input. I just got done installing everything and it took about 2 hours. I am very happy with the overall install and sound. I would recommend this peice to anybody.
