YICS block off tool first attempt

Hope it works. . gonna get to try it out this morning. . not sure about the fuel line used for the seals. its 3/8 OD and 1/8 ID. . was TOO small ID because it was a tight fit on the rod and walls were too thick. . I carefully used my drill and a drill bit to make the holes larger. It squishes easier now

 

Looks like an interesting idea! I'm interested to know if it works. How much has it put you back so far?

Maybe a little over $10 and fifteen minutes of work. LOT Of research and parts serching though lol. Not too bad

 

Unless the rubber tube nearest the end with the washer/nut exactly lands on and properly blocks the outer YICS passage (#1 or #4, depending on which side it's inserted from,) it will create a vacuum leak.

The "real" (factory or replica) tool has a rubber sealing washer next to the flat washer so it seals to the case on the side it's inserted from. (As below.)

Add that and it may actually work, as long as whatever rubber tubing you used can stand contact with some serious high temp metal.

 

I used the build sheet I found here in the forums.

 

Here is a rather poor photo of one I built:

Did toy find a design for that one or just come up with it yourself?

 

I used the basic dimensions off the one here on the forum and tweaked it.
Works very well;locks up solid when cammed over.

 

does it require a washer to seal one end of the port? this is the diagram I went by

Unless the above is true, yes it does. That's the flaw with that tool.

 

Is there a way to tell if my tool is doing its job correctly?
