idle speed motor auxiliary air pipe

[iflights]

I struggled with it enough. I could never get the ring to stay in place. If i did it would easily get knocked out when trying to connect hoses.
I ended up putting a hose clamp on the pipe in front of the brass ring to keep it from sliding back. then I put on a new o ring and a small amount of clear silicone.
I was able to push it in snug and let it dry. I know its not right but it worked. May save someone hours in the future...

Thanks all,

Dave

A true pipe of agony moment.

It's a pretty odd design. Honestly if what you did is sound, then I'm not going to argue. Others have done much worse.

That sounds like a simple, neat, effective way to get that menace in there securely. Nice work MacGyver!

lol thanks

another thought i had for future was to take a piece of rubber 2-4mm thick trace out a hole slightly smaller than the pipe so you can slide it through and have a decent seal.. then silicone it to the intake with the o ring underneath. the rubber seal would act as the brass ring and hold the o ring in place. Then with a little lube you could slide pipe in and out easily and i think it would keep a decent seal. (maybe?) Not sure if there is enough contact area to silicone the rubber on though.. next time i take it out i will try it...

Thx for this update.
Nicely done. Great way to start the weekend.

A VOD job is rewarding when it comes out right, as it usually does.
