Nozzle install advice

[graphitert]

Hey Fellas,

Hopefully you can help out a "foreigner" with his SMC kit install. Your site comes highly recommended for experience with this kit.

I'm installing a Paxton Novi 2000 on my '01 Dakota R/T(considerable top end work already done) and I've also got one of Steve's kits that I'd like to put in at the same time. Read the instructions where he mentions JB Weld to seal up where the nozzle is installed in the inlet pipe. I'm semi-anal about sano installs since I show the truck on occasion and was wondering if you guys had any tips on how you've gone about it that might be a little cleaner. Photos would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance for the advice. Already have some great ideas for Aquamist nozzles and various mixtures to try out. Our Dodge 360s have a miserable head bolt arrangement and can't handle anything like the cylinder pressures you guys are pushing, but if I can gain a couple of psi using Steve's kit and not pop head gaskets, I'll be a happy guy,

Bob

All I can suggest is installing it somewhere kinda out of site! I've installed a few of these nozzles, and couldn't really see how to get a good enough seal to NOT use JB Weld around it. On my WE4 I installed them on the underside of my intercooler outlet neck then painted the whole works with the same satin black paint as the IC. They are barely noticeable. HTH!

Not much to add, except to say that water on the fingertips will smoth the JB out pretty well. You can feather it out pretty thin, and sand it the next day.

As stated above, painting is the way to go.

Spit on the fingertips works good too

put a little on the threads and put it on in small increments. Too much and it will ever so slowly form a drip
