- I have been debating the merits of blocking off the cross over tube in my TR4 intake manifold. I have read that the tubes create turbulance and should be blocked off. Reading it and practical applica

- Joe, I'm not sure what could be gained from blocking it off. On my MGB, streetcar, when I ported and polished the manifold, I spent extra time cleaning the area around the crossover and down inside i

- I don't know anything about this, but intuitvely, if it was important, I would think that we would have seen x-overs on ALL intake manifolds through the demise of carbs. Shane Ingate, what the $%#@ d

- Without ever trying to figure out the reason why, I have heard that people who have tried blocking off this tube had problems. If I remember correctly, I believe that Kas warned against this in one o

- Actually, you see them on a lot of cars. They don't really help flow much, especially coming in at a right angle as they often do. The moderate pulses in the intake system by creating a larger air vo

- I did replace the balance tube with clear tubing and you could see the mixture pulsing back and forth. Interesting ,but of little value. Never Be beaten by Equipment Kas Kastner -- Original Message -

- There is another factor here, and I'm not sure of it's effect. The intake valves on #3 and #4 (and #1 and #2) have a lot of shared opening, e.g 120 degrees of shared opening with a 300 degree duratio
