Kinda looks like a piece of seaweed--but honestly, it came out of the head
of an SR-1.
As you can see, I patched it, but I'd like to replace it
Anyone know of a source? Or any tips for fab?
I don't know the official name, but I call it the fuel leak-off valve--tee style.
(a.k.a. "The Magic Motor Oil Multiplier").
Apparently different SR-1 variants had different plumbing. The manual shows
a single pipe from fuel injector, exiting front left corner of head. But as you
can see, this engine drains both the fuel injector and fuel injector pump
(via a banjo fitting) though the same pipe, which passes out the right side
of the head (via a notch in the seat for the cover).
The tee is located close to the push rods for the rockers--not much room for
anything but a solder joint.. Sure would be nice to move that tee outside the head!
I suppose I could re-route the leak-off tube from the fuel injector pump out through
the housing cover.. I'd have to file a notch in either seat or the cover. Hate to
do that, if there's some better option.
All suggestions welcome. Thanks!
