if anybody wants some billet hood spacers I made for and took off my jeep. let me know. I would have given them to 2A if I would have known he was going to do this

chased heat soak for a year wrapped fuel line, installed timed relay on electric fan, insulated fuel line, what the final cure for misfire on cylinder 3 was I found fuel pressure fade after I turned off the xj, replaced the fuel pump problem solved on my 2001 xj

I installed the same fuel rail shield, didn't think about the hard line great tip. It solved my heat soak issue on my daughter's XJ. Great video!

Thank you for making this video. How has this mod been helping with the vapor lock?

[halholloway]

I have trouble with the heat from the header melting my motor mount bushings. I have the hood spacers so I'm going to try header wrap and see how that works.
After watching you put this kit on I'm going to try that. Really looks good 👍

i live in socal so i fight the heat too the hood spacers hood vents i got on help alot too i think im gonna get that shroud too

[ethanceballos]

Awesome man this will help a lot when I do mine. 👍🏽🤙🏼

[stephanoeaton]

So would u recommend the spacers over the hood vents??

[Fort_Worth_Talaria]

upgrading to 4 hole fuel injectors also helps.(or 12 hole injections)

[graysongurksnis]

Would it be possible to add the heat shield without taking out the injectors? I just put in new injectors and would rather not do that whole job again if not absolutely necessary.

[crashtke]

I have often wondered if the hood vents contribute to cps failures by allowing water down on it.

[earlhurt]

Wheres the link to the hose removal tool?

[jorgenavarro]

any additional information on temp differences

[NukieDookie]

You space your hood to prevent heat soak, I space my hood because it’s bent. We are not the same

[RandoReign]

im not a fan of hood spacers on the XJ at all. id rather cut a new vent port by the cowl and add a better E fan w/swtich.
