Andy F 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Just wondered if anyone has a hose diagram for XU9 8v + 16v as im swapping the engine's labelling everything up but think it may help my confidence. Have had a quick search around but havent found one. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted July 11, 2008 Just leave the cooling system piping as close to how it is for the 8v & remove the extra pipes from the Mi16 which run along the back of the head to the union block on the back of the block. (this needs changing to the one off the 8v). This picture shows the route for the 8v. This picture shows the original route for the Mi16 engine. Graham.

Andy F 0 Posted July 11, 2008 thanks for that, just need to try and work out all the oil hoses now. Going to be running carbs so got to try and work out what to do with all the breathers that were on the inlet. Suppose i could use a seperator? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted July 12, 2008 This article might help. Going to be running carbs so got to try and work out what to do with all the breathers that were on the inlet. Quite common for the smaller pipe to be blocked on the cap & the l;arger one to vent to atmosphere, sometimes through a breather filter. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
