Re: [T3] air intake bellows


I didn't always run the clamps either until I polished the inside of my
yellow fastys fan housing to help increase airflow and wound it up to
6500rpm. Made a horrible noise, some light knocking type sounds and a lot of
vibrations as the fan proceeded to destroy the boot. Some of it stayed in
the fan as well. Lots of the pieces melted to the cylinder fins as the motor
was hot when I did this. Made for a real mess and I pulled the motor out and
down to a longblock to clean all the shredded and melted rubber. I used both
clamps from that point on. :-D
