    Overheating after elbow and riser replacement

    Thanks Ricardo, The block off plate is located at the bottom of the riser between the riser and manifold.

I removed the filter elements this weekend intending to change them and noticed that they are 2 micron diesel filter elements. Now I am thinking that instead of changing...
