blue thunder intake
with a dt dual 4 intake, i noticed the oil filler tube is in front on the intake. can this hole be blocked off and add your oil the old way thru the valve cover?

Yes it can and easily. The snout is just pressed in and should pull out fairly easily. Then all you need to do is go and buy a freeze plug (I think it is 1 1/2") and tap it into the opening. Might cost you $1.50. Probably the cheapest thing you will ever do to your Cobra,

Hi GFUJI,
watch out for leaks on your intake manifold. I had to throw my Blue Thunder away, because it was so porous that I once found water seeping into the engine from the intake manifold, which welding did no cure. I also had abnormal oil consumption (1liter per 100km) which I could not pinpoint where it came from. After replacing the manifold with a Performer , the oil consumption went back to normal. I do not know if casting has improved at Blue Thunder, but 10 years ago that is what they were delivering. |
I WILL probably be getting a new one. anyone had any problems with newer ones?
