reed spacer install

[backcountry_vmax]

I got reed spacers and i am wondering about the install. when installing the reed spacers, do you put the spacers in then reeds or do you put the reeds in then spacers. i kno it seems like a stupid question but i want to be sure. Thanks

Spacers first, thats what moves the reed block back to help uncover the boost port.Put new gaskets on both sides along with bolts that are about a 1/4" longer.

Put new gaskets on both sides along with bolts that are about a 1/4" longer.

Does anyone know the size and length the longer bolts are? IE.....4mm x 18mm.

Not sure, it should be easy to figure out in the nut and bolt aisle at your local hardware.

Yea....I know. Just like to have everything before I start.

They are M6x1.00x?
I would have to look at mine for length.

 

[methanolhemi]

30mm length

Just got back from ACE. One whole isle of those pull out drawers w/ any kind of hardware you can imagine. Thanks HEMI.

I should note for anyone else-If your
sled has the coils mounted to the airbox
subtract some length because you are
not using the coil bracket.

Yea....mine are up top of the slush box. Can't figure out why they where moved closer to the engine on other models. Doesn't make any sense having them closer yet, to a heat source.

Possibly ease of taking air box out and
putting coils under head-tucked down-
shields them from water/snow coming
through the hood screens. More compact
also. Pros and cons Pros and cons
