Yes, and it also shows two (2) pretty beat up s/s lines waiting for
disaster to
happen..............Guys, when working adjacent to ANY kind of plumbing
lines
be very careful not to damage them, if it's that tight remove and
replace them
after....It's a big no-no which will eventually, silently, GET-YA.

Butch,

  I'm not sure what you are refering to? The only thing I see in the
picture is the exhaust system and associated ducting, part of the engine
mount, and in the foreground/right what appears to be a hose wrapped in
firesleeve. Immediately to the left of the exhaust outlet there are 2 nuts
with crimped sleeves visible which I assume are probes (probably O2 or
maybe EGT?) that thread into the 2 welded in bungs which were visible in
the other picture. Is that what you are talking about, or is there
something in the picture that I dont see, or are you looking at a different
picture?

Mike, after re-cheking photo and seeing the probe's bulbs sticking out the
bottom and the upper collar crimp, you're right. Jumped the gun on that one,
the brain just registered "Tubing Lines".......But you must agree that they are
pretty beat up........There's no reason for that, and can easily be avoided
........Thanks for catching it.
