HP Crossover hose

[platinum01]

Well installed the HP Crossover hose earlier today. Took about 45 mins to installed the hose. Wow that thing is crazy the throttle response is alot more responsive and it really does quit down the idle clanking also.

For any 7.3L guys out there this is a really cheap mod and is worth it all the way imho.

Just be prepared when you take the oil plug out have the other plugs and hose ready to install. Oil will start running out down the side of the valve cover and on to the garage floor.

Here is a link to the install. HX Cross Over Install

Not a BIG mess but you will get a little oil.. I lay a rag along the Head/Rail "V" area to catch most of it. Also, if you feed the HX line across and under the Y pipe first.. then remove one rail plug.. start the HX threads.. then the other side.. the mess is as minimal as you can get it.

One more Hint ? Try and get a feel for how much effort it takes to remove the plugs.. Try to use Only that SAME effort to snug the HX fittings, (As with any O ring fitting: Tighter is NOT usually better ?) for starters. After several Warm ups and Cool downs.. you >might< need to tighten the fittings just a touch.
