Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: One pitfall is not allowing the needed spacing in the assembly housing. If the Air components are not locked together properly, the machinery can fail prematurely. A second pitfall is assuming that a particular torque measurement for one component is correct for the entire Tool assembly.Jim/Stafford: * Using a set-screw collar on a hardened shaft. The screw does not "set," and holding power is greatly diminished.* Using a set-screw Saes collar on thin-wall tubing, which can permanently distort the tubing.* Specifying too thin a width on a clamp-type collar, leaving it too weak to resist distortion when the clamp-screw is tightened.* Specifying too thin a clamp-slot on threaded shaft collars where the collar must flex more in order to adequately clamp onto the threaded shaft.

CAUTION: Cover up Air the drive belts and pulleys using a clean shop cloth before sanding or filing to prevent metal filings from Tool falling onto them.If no pressure marks or Saes traces of rubbing are found on the hose as described, check the gap at the closest point (A) between the cast boss of the oil filter housing and the upper coolant hose.There must be a gap (A) of at least 1/4 inch (7 mm) when the engine coolant is cold.If gap (A) is 1/4 inch (7 mm) or greater, no further repairs are necessary.If gap (A) is less than 1/4 inch (7 mm), the upper coolant Air hose must be replaced with the new modified version.Parts InformationUpper Coolant Hose BMW Part Number 11 531 433 340We replaced the upper radiator hose with the new type, cleaned Tool the engine compartment, filled the cooling system and pressure tested it to make sure there were no other leaks. Luckily, the engine hadn''t overheated. Most of the steam was created from the coolant leaking on the exhaust manifold. The owner was fairly good-natured about his near catastrophe. Relieved, standing at the counter while paying his bill, he said lightheartedly, "You know, my pants and shirt were badly wrinkled when I left the house this morning. I think this was the strangest way I''ve ever had my clothes pressed." I had to agree. ills
