Excellent. You know what they say about universal fit stuff...doesn't fit anything.

Which headers are they?

Give them the old percussive maintenance.

The front master cylinder (rear brakes) port should be 9/16-18 threaded and the rear port (front brakes) should be 1/2-20 threaded. Obviously you need to test that out before you go jamming stuff in there, but the tube nuts are available in 3/16" line size with the correct thread. edit: Yes...

I used to have these on my Duster and they will get you there, but they 100% hit the cross member.

Yep. 3/8" hex tube nuts are bad enough as they get old. Even using flare nut wrenches, mine rounded off and I ended up cutting the line for new ones.

Who says that it has "moved on without me?" Is nobody allowed to just state a dislike with the way things are? I pretty clearly stated that I prefer metric stuff, I just don't understand why one would make parts with two different standards when the only use of those parts is on a vehicle that...

I had the same issue, no matter how many "correct" o-rings I tried. I finally went with the race locking dipstick like this one: https://www.jegs.com/i/ATI/085/726490/10002/-1 Instead of the single o-ring, it has a large rubber boot that makes a more positive seal.

Is anyone else sick and tired of having metric hardware put into the brake parts that are available? I can only find wheel cylinders with 7mm (headed and threaded) bleeder screws. Others that I find online generally don't list what the thread is. I just got stainless front hoses from Dr. Diff...

Good stuff, guess I have a few videos to watch.

Just weighed my assembled X head minus rockers. 46.6 pounds. Now I just need to order the aluminum heads and hide them from my wife.

Wow. I knew the aluminum heads cut a bunch, but that's crazy. I have a set of complete X heads sitting here, might just have to weigh them to compare. Thanks!

Did you actually weigh the heads vs. the iron heads to get the 50 pound number or is that an educated guesstimate?

The PH3614 and its cross references are the filter that the Dakota V6s came with and they fit right on there. Same thread and gasket size, but the can is significantly smaller.

Sounds good. Is that a situation for percussive maintenance?
