..just got my Block off plates yesterday..
a bit disappointed in that it didnt include a BOP for the flange from the hard pipe (in front of the UIM) that leads to the ACV...it also does not include a BOP for the flange after removal of the air pipe that leads to the cat...i figured if this set was for emissions removal, it should include these as well....oh well..should have just had a shop do the complete set....or are these even required to be blocked off ?....
oh...
and didnt get any gasket material...and i believe it was posted that they were suppose to include these as well...

 

Could you explain that in english for a piston guru such as myself

I am interested in learning, but too man acronyms and things I don't know about rotaries

 

BOP = Block Off Plate
ACV = Air Control Valve
UIM = Upper Intake Manifold
... = too many hours in chat rooms...

 

Thanks
now on to searching so I understand what the hell is going on

 

true true...hehehe....

I don't know too much about block off plates and would like to learn as well, anyone got any info we can browse through?
Thanks

 

I plan on making my own. Seriously, it cannot be that hard, and I'll be rebuilding my engine sometime so everything will be apart. Just get a piece of sheet metal (of generous thickness), and cut shapes to fit.

 

..is what i should have done myself and just reuse the existing gaskets if its even required..

 

did the missing BOPs myself using aluminum..much lighter than the ones for sale as they use SS and reused the metal gaskets, replaced the others i couldnt reuse with gasket material..
