John - Thanks for the heart attack!!! Why don't we aim the BOV at the brake calipers for additional cooling??
Hope that's not a puddle of your blood on the floor under the BOV??
Seriously, looks excellent & coming along. Any word from Gene #2 on the motor?

High side line must be adjusted up and to the left (bent is such an ugly word) as well the low side must be adjusted as far left as possible (Need hammer and block of wood for this one) Really just slips in place not difficult at all. Everything falls into place after that

HAHA I like they way you have to "bend" and "hammer" and then say it all fits into place. Are we still talking about AC lines here as I knew this was getting in the way.

Yes still talking about AC lines it's not so dramatic but neccessary. Talking movment of less than an inch on the lowside just the line is so large can't simple move it by hand a couple taps with dead blow mallet (dramatic writting)and block of wood. The high side is not really in the way in the first place but because of the routing of the line with the 3" tubing places it very close to the ac belt so moving the line up is more of a precausion that it will not become entangled or eventaually have a hole rubbed through by ac belt
