How do i switch these? They wont pull out with my hands and i don't want to scratch them with pliers. Thanks.

 

Do you need to pull them out and switch them. I dont think it matters?! They are not flow directional are they?

 

take some pliers/channel locks and take a napkin or paper towel and put it around the lip of the core and pull them out with the pliers/channel locks. you only have to switch the first 2

yes they are.

Oh! Damn!

Good to know!

 

here...link

 

i didnt know they were directional. Good to know. Now time to be an ass.

what the hell does a lamnivore eat? Lamination?

 

they will only get changed when you put the dual pass on

 

we are doin the dual pass and opt B and we used pliers thanks!

 

np. if you have any questions, let me know. i have that setup

 

When putting back together, allign the bigger slots with the airslots inside the manifold for optimum airflow!!

 

this is good stuff...looking to do this soon...

 

very good reminder....

 

For the LSJ in the Ariel Atom that has a dual pass endplate, the Brammo engineers tested the laminova tubes in both directions are saw no difference in cooling so they left them alone to save assembly time.

Another Atom owner contacted the laminova engineer who developed them directly who said this:

The plugs in the centre hole of the cores normally should be located on the coolant inlet side (upstream). If there not, in most applications it should not be any problem. For some applications, the plug can come loose, but only for high system pressure applications.

on that note, i never switched my laminovas around when i installed my dual pass, and it still works the same as switching them around FYI. it doesnt matter how they are set up.

 

so now basically ur telling me we just have to add the endplate and run the hose, not to worry about swapping the top 2 cores??

 

yep, waste of time, but if it gives you peace of mind dont let me stop you lmao

 

Cool we got done and seams to work fine.... could have used another 90 degree elbow though FYI. took about 4hrs totaly between pizza and beer breaks...... sweeeet

 

did you swap the cores..?

 

also, do you have to install a new gasket (or O-ring, or seal, or whatever it is) between the endplate and mani or just reinstall the stock one?

I have the CXRacing H/E and the Redline Coolant tank, was gonna install just this, but as easy as it sounds i might get the ZZP endplate and do the dual pass too...

 

usually the dulpass comes with a new O ring, but i used my stock one. either way will be fine.

 

you didn't have any leaking issues did you??

 

i did because i pinched the O-ring, but i re-sealed it with RTV silicone adhesive, and problem fixed, stuff worked like a charm.

 

He did... cause he tightened it wrong

 

DID NOT!

 

lol thats what im worried about. i guess it would be smart to tighten the bolts all down together to prevent that then huh? i guess i'll look into the endplate...
