I took a few days and replaced the gaskets on my engine front cover and oil pan, to address a heavy oil leak. Did the oil pump, timing chain, and water pump while I had everything off (thanks to Alex_M for the great write up on that!)

Still leaks though. I've got a couple other thoughts to address it, but now I've got to wait for some more parts to arrive...

You can get the Heat Sleeve at Summit Racing, Jeg's, etc in different lengths and colors.

The Aluminum style is also an option > https://www.summitracing.com/parts/the-17063/overview/

If you don't want to order this stuff then go to any local shop that makes Hydraulic Lines and they will sell you heat sleeve in bulk/any length.

LR switched to a new design of the SAI pipes, they got rid of the corrugated flimsy stuff and have a solid pipe now. They don't come with, or need, heat sleeves either. Pretty pricey though. My originals tore when trying to undo that union nut, so I bit the bullet on the newer design. IIRC, they were like $80 each.

Much more useful than the jump seats! Also painted my new roof rack yesterday. So excited to get my tent and awnings mounted tonight after work.

Keep an eye out and eventually you'll find one. I grabbed this one local for $400, but I didn't want to chop it up to fit my needs.

Does that mean you'd be interested in selling it?
