My assumption was that you should have the tube = OD, the same as the flange ID. If that was true, how can you keep the tube = from touching the sides of the hole in the flange? Are you saying that the = tube should not extend beyond the flange, so that it touches the engine = itself? =20 Remember the term "education and entertainment". Thanks for all the education, and you're welcome for all the entertainment :-) Cheers, Rusty (plain text for the html impaired) =20
