LS7 Purge pipe bust!
Discussion
Hi Guys,
Hope someone can help. Not very exeperienced with US engines.
Have a new LS7 crate engine languishing in my garage for a while, and got to examining it prior to fitting it into my project.
Problem is I found the purge solenoid pipe swinging-in-the-wind so-to-speak! i.e. the solenoid end is OK and connected, but the other end looks like it has sheared off. The offending clip-end is showing a small thin-walled bit of ally pipe broken off!
Jeez! must have got hooked on something and wasn't noticed!
First, where should it be connected, and what am I looking for???
.... and second, can it be repaired and how??? (Jeez, I do hope so!)
This is a new build car and has to go for IVA so emissions and things matter.
Please help as I need to get the engine in soon!
