Post by **wasserleaker** » 03 Dec 2006, 14:41

Hi all,
Thinking of fitting a flashlube upper cyl. lubricant kit to my 2.1 DJ'd & L.P.G'd van, has anyone fitted one, and where should the spray nozzle be situated? thinking fairly central in the 'tin' plenum box looks favourite, is one nozzle enough? and would it vaporise the stuff ok if fitted in the top facing downwards, or would fitting it from underneath be better for drawing a mist from the nozzle? a mate could braze a steel boss on with the thread in, as i don't think you would end up with many threads tapping into the sheet metal itself. any advice muchly appreciated!
cheers, wasserleaker.

I've just got a flashlube kit for mine, and the instructions on the box say you have to drill and tap the manifold just past the carb. I asked the people I got it off and they say the same thing and are sending me a T piece and a bit of extra piping as I have twin carbs. I've not had a proper look at the manifolds yet, but I'm hoping for some sort of blocked off breather hole that I can open up, otherwise I'll be getting my drill out.

mine's a fuel injection engine tho, Dubstar, i should have said. might give the chap at Gasure a call, my local L.P.G. fitter virtually said anything other than multi point modern L.P.G. systems are a waste of time, and i'd be better of buying a newer T4! so i won't be asking their advice on the flashlube matter.
seems worth having the lube system tho, specially as i just finished a costly engine re-build.
