Part # needed

[jayfrem]

Hi there

I am about to change seals of gasket cover.

To get there need to remove air filter connection pipe hoses.
Some of them are old and need to be replaced.

Can you someone share part # of these air filter box connectors ?

Can't help with the part #s, but if your valve covers are weeping oil, I'd try to tighten them before swapping the gaskets.

^^^^^ Agree with @labcab. Try tightening the bolts first. BUT!!!!! DON'T use a ratchet, use a socket on the end of a nut-driver handle. The bolts require 14ib torque, which is just slightly more than hand-tight. Tighten to a snug feel, too much leverage/torque and you risk snapping a valve cover bolt off and then you've got a lot more work to do to fix it.

Not sure what "air filter box connectors" you are referring to but hopefully this helps

Thanks a lot.

Why not a ratchet ?

Thanks. My model has the circular filter box.

Ohhh you have the cyclonic air filter then. There are a few threads on here about it. I linked one below by @hoser and he may have some valuable input on this. Not sure if that thread has pn's or not but I don't have a diagram of the cyclonic air box, sorry.

Thanks a lot.

too easy to over tighten and snap the bolt

Bingo!!!!!

I tightened mine using the nut-driver with just three fingers on the handle. Thumb, index and middle finger. Snugged down the bolts and no leak.
