  2. How can the round tube throw the lifter valley? They are both inanimate objects. Foe the round tube to throw the lifter valley it would have to be able to move by itself, physically acquire the lifter valley, and then move it. IMPOSSIBLE!

  5. Why would you want to remove it ?
    It can be cleaned out just like any other passage.

    Yep. They have been left in since the beginning of time, and cleaned around ever since.

    La chose simple à faire, c’est propre autour du tube. Assurez-vous que le collecteur est compatible avec le système d’aération interne. Ces Français blocs sont un mélange de 8BA et plus tôt (59A) conception

  9. I don’t believe it can be removed. Careful no to damage that choice block.

    Ex military NOS I believe, could they be covered in that gelatinous, anti rust coating, that I can't remember the correct term for?

    Is there a tounge involved in this thread somewhere?
     
  15. Big difference in the meaning of throw VS through. Not a spelling error but very confusing in his question. You should know what you are asking before you ask. I'm going back to the garage and weld.
