Did you ever get around to installing industrial tin to protect the heads and direct cooling air flow out the back? It fills the gap left by removing the heater boxes.
@@GarageTime Are you still running with a thermostat? The industrial tins will help to make sure that it doesn't open too soon and that heat of the J tubes aren't radiating toward the cylinders and heads while stopped.
Thanks for the video. I live in VA which is super hot in the summer. I purchased a set of j tubes from watching your video prior. Would I need to wrap them with a header wrap to keep the heat down?
@@willycsjr You can do that. Definitely make sure that all of your tins and rubber seals are in place to separate the top of the engine from the bottom as well.
I just spent an hour getting the top one off. I blasted it with WD/40 and let it sit and then went a bought a 1/4” universal swivel and a 6” extension. I was able to get the swivel and extension on and then ratchet the nut off. It took forever to get off. I saw in some videos they just saw zall it, I didn’t want to do that.
Great videos, really enjoying the autostick work. Very helpful.
is the Jtube making moor heat on the engine due to the lack of air flow from the pipes?
Don’t you shield the heads from the extra heat from the J tubes?
And engine work more clean before changed that old heaters?
What are the tubes that go like behind the carburator i have a whole in one!! it might have something to do with the alignment of the motor
Intake manifold
What effect to J tubed have on engine cooling/ over heating? I installed them years ago And I'm afraid it causes overheating
If you install the “industrial” tins it will be fine.keeps heat away from push rod tubes

Hi Scott, no we just put back the stock tins, nothing more at this point.

Previous owner pulled and scraped the flaps and thermostat, we’ll be added back when we re-build.

Nobody ever shows how to take the heater boxes off. The stupid nut is inaccessible to any tools.

Sawzall where the heater box connects to the header. Then undo the nuts with 1/2 socket
