787 - Rave Question - Fuel Hosing Question - Oil Check Valve ?

[digital sol]

-Installed the rave valves but I am unsure about the play between the valve and housing. I feel like the rebuild kit uses much smaller orings so maybe its normal but I attached a video regarding it

Rave Valve Install: "TOP Faces the SKY"
Note: You need to remove the cap & install the screws and then put the cap on





For the fuel baffle hosing I did as follows:

Baffle "ON" - Bottom Port on fuel Switch/ON
Baffle "RES" - Top Port on fuel Switch/Reserve
Baffle "Ven" - Assume this meants VENT so ran hose to the "3" way splitter that has two hoses to venting postions
Baffle "RET" - No idea where the hose should go to from this port? Any suggestions?

PS: If you remove the fuel baffle and coupler apply some heat with a air dryer to get it back on. It was a real pain in the butt putting the seal/gasket back on the top of the baffle until I hit it with a heat gun to loosen it up!

Misc Hosing Questions: Can you confirm these are correct?



Small hose from left over nipple to bottom water regulator port

My last but not least question is that is it ok for me to cap off the end of the line on the oil tank fitting at the top of the tank? I am running pre-mix however this line was removed and it is just "open" to air. I heard this is some sort of check valve that may allow air inside to work properly but ultimately I have been confused as to whether or not I can just cap it. I will take a picture. Its the fitting that is on top of the oil tank and drops down inside. There are "2" lines coming off of it one in each direction but one of them is going to nothing now so planned on just putting a vacuum cap on it.

With premix you have to leave the two large oil lines connected from the oil tank to the engine block to supply oil to the rotary valve gear. On the fitting on top of the tank there should be a Tee and the large port goes to the rotary cavity on the block ant the smaller one is a vent but it should have a one way check valve on it.

Ok great that is how mine is setup I just wasn't sure if I should block that one way check valve but sounds like its not necessary.

Thank you

Anyone able to confirm my hoses/rave stuff? Mucho appreciated!

Got the fuel tank, oil tank & misc hooked up yesterday. Pulling the pump housing tonight to ship off for inspection & hooking up the fuel stuff & inline filter tonight.

Haha thanks, I watched that growing up as a kid

I wanted to do a ridiculous color scheme because its one of the few times I can. The car's stay low key and clean but for the ski I figured I could mix it up and go wild.
