Not Ranked
FYI...Broken Stud
Hi Gang,
I have a 342RE Roush motor w/ fuel injection.
The air filter system consists of an adapter that screws into the throttle body then a long screw goes down thru the filter and screws into the throttle body.
The stud in the throttle body broke.
When I removed the broken end, I noticed that it was a cast aluminum piece not a machined billet.
I've been talking with Roush engine department people. They told me that they got the part from a vendor but will replace the adapter with one made of machined steel OR they will manufacture a long screw and eliminate the adapter.
They said that my adapter was "The first one they have seen that broke."
(Hmmmm)
I'm posting this just in case you have a similar adapter on your system.
Have a happy 4th!
Regards, Ivan
