This is what happens to the Ford pipes due to expansion and contractions. Then the leak even with oversized donut gaskets.

Those look just like the ones I pulled out.

Totally unrelated to up pipes or this build but very much so to all of us here... I just found a very interesting Danish word:
"udlaengsel".
It could be a very good name for my next van :)
Let's see who can figure it out ;)

Cheers

Morning update!

HPOP is back on and new fuel ports done on the heads. Fuel lines, HPX x-over & custom made braided high pressure oil lines are all in place along with the regulated fuel return/fuel bowl delete. And, no answers for "udlaengsel"? :)

I have seen braided lines grind holes right through rubber hoses like that.
Make sure you wear protection. :)

Wanderlust is a pretty good translation, well played Ian! And John, not sure you really wanna get into a similar project, lol.


So it's official, the beast is running again!!! We got her running this morning then put the bumper back on. She sounds great :) but I'm only running the regular tunes for split shot injectors so I won't drive her till I receive the custom tunes for the single shot, can't wait!

We got lucky, started on 1st try and no leaks! Main casuality was my Warn winch. We broke one of the bolts connecting to the electrical wires. Not sure how easy it will be to repair. :(

Still got a few projects I'd like to deal with before selling her and also a couple well deserved camping trips!

Cheers

Check DB Electrical I replaced the motor on my 9k warn with one years ago and it still pulling away. Sweet job on the engine!

I'll keep them in mind but would be nice to find a local shop, especially with the border being shut down these days... Thanks!
