Cam Chain Tensioner Gasket, and UNI Pods

[Firehawk068]

While my FJ is down with the shift-shaft issue, I had some free time in the garage today.
I decided to update the crankcase breather system.

After thinking about what Pat had said about the breather location, and the UNI-pods, and having noticed the crankcase vapor smell the few times I have ridden it since switching over.
I moved the breather to inside the intake tubes.

Since the FJ firing order is: 1-2-4-3, I decided to plumb the breather hose using two alternating cylinders.
I went with cylinders 1, and 4.

I first sourced the fittings I planned to use (1/8 NPT to 3/8" hose barb) from my local Napa.
The vacuum tee, I already had in my stash of misc stuff.



Next, I removed the intake tubes for drilling.
I found the appropriate size drill bit (11/32 I believe) and used my 1/8NPT pipe-tap.



After de-burring the inside of the holes, and cleaning all the shavings and metal dust out, I put some red lok-tite on them, and threaded them in tight.







I raided my box of scrap hose again, and my stash of brass fittings to get it all connected.





Since I still had some free time to kill, I decided to add my spare triple-trumpet air-horn kit to the space formally occupied by the factory air-box.
I ditched the smallest trumpet, and went with the two larger ones.

First, I relocated my horn relay from up front, to the side of the battery box.
and extended the factory horn wires back to trigger it.



I mounted the compressor, and trumpets to the top bolt-hole for the factory air-box.



UNI-pods mounted back on, and everything tucked neatly underneath.
These air-horn trumpets are loud as F**K!
It will definitely get someone's attention.







Now all the crankcase vapors will get sucked into cylinders 1 and 4 while the engine is running.

Them horns look like they will scare the paint off your side covers. I am a firm believer that being heard is critical on a bike, good job.
