s.a.i. valve
« on: 20 July 2009, 16:06:10 »

hello im am going to replace the s.a.i. valve which sits at the front right handside of the engine,however ive noticed that as well as the main pipe going in to it on the right,there is also meant to be a pipe coming out the left.

can anyone tell me where the pipe is supposed to lead to?

thanks,j

There should be a metal pipe running right across the front of the engine as you look at it. This then has a large "cylinder" (which is the one way valve) going up to one of the pipes you mentioned in your original post.  :y

thanks for the prompt response, i've found the one way cylinder and the pipe comes from the top of this and runs in to the right hand side of the s.a.i. valve, there is a pipe on the other side of the s.a.i. valve, but i still cant find where this goes.
sorry if it appears that im asking the same question, im just starting to learn about engines

thanks again j
