On my S90 the little nipple on the bottom of the flame trap assembly is broken. I've looked around some, but can't find the line that's supposed to attach to it. Can anybody tell me where to look? Thanks.

We're in the midst of a major project--my son Nate, who goes by "unggthat" here, is doing most of the work. Took the head off and found some scarring on the #6 piston and around the valves--we knew that cylinder had only 65 pounds of compression and was clearly not firing right. Looks like something got into the cylinder at some point (this is the car we bought cheap a couple of months ago, knowing that it had some kind of significant issues). So we took the head to a machine shop, which found that the seat had gotten bent and was keeping the valve from seating right. They reground the valve and seat, and when the cylinder bolts we ordered come in we hope to put it all back together and have it purring like a cat. We'll see!
