Title: Revo intake question?
Post by: Bish155 on July 11, 2015, 11:12:17 am

Just had my Revo camcoat intake fitted, but have noticed that where the intake pipe goes through the box it has a cut out in the top, is this right?

Unless it has worn through rubbing on the divider,if so get your money back as thats no good.

My revo intake doesn't have a hole for the pipe to go through, it is shaped for the pipe to fit in. Makes sense, as if you need to remove the intake you don't have to remove the divider too

Sounds like you have the later revision divider/heat shield.

I have the same as you. Thanks for the replies guys.

I have just looked at the old elbow joint which the breather pipe connects to, has a very small amount of oil residue on the inside. Is this a worrying sign?
