Quote (AZKC @ Jan. 06 2003,3:22 pm) | Wasn't sure what a Banderlog Valve was so I researched alittle
sounds cool enough I've never had water problems that I was aware of but seems to be a popular topic, block pressures, gate valves, gauges, spring loaded t's blah blah blah. Why are you getting one?

It seems that I'm frequently having to adjust my water valves to get the water flow to my headers just right. It's either coming in too late and blueing the headers or coming in too early and getting to the motor via the exhaust ports. When I got home from my last trip, I noticed a small amount of water in my oil. I HOPE it wasn't because of a bad gasket. I suspect the water came in from the headers. The header gaskets had small leaks and I noticed water coming from those exhaust leaks which are way above the weep holes. The Banderlog valve sounds like an excellent solution, but I can't find anyone who has actually used one yet. Everyone is waiting for someone else to buy one first. I guess that would be me.

I did my research on these about 5 months ago and I think they were a couple of hundred bucks. Â Hopefully, the price has dropped, but even if it hasn't, it's still worth it. Â My current valves are at the front of the engine compartment, which I adjust from the rear bench seat. Â The engine is already turnkey. Â It has a pretty new carb, MSD ignition box and distributor. Â That water deal is the only thing that gets me out of my seat. Â I'm ready to go high tech! |
I'm as far from turnkey as it could be, other than strippin it and taken to Barney for a new gelcoat. I'm still in multiple project mode and not getting anything finished.
