Default emissons

Ok, I am a new guy with a good working cross fire engine. My probblem is this, I have not been able to pass the emissons test. I have looked at the engine and found out that when the engine was rebuilt, all the emission connections wre not put back in place.There is a pipe that goes from one side to the orher and connects to the exhaust ports. How important is it?

Thank you Mike. And thank you to all that have welcomed me back whether in this thread, others threads, by PM, and e-mail. Thanks to all. I read your thread, Mike, and the one that led up to it. I received a lot of e-mails while I was gone. Most to be sure I was OK, but some asking for help. All the e-mails were flattering and welcome. Thanks again to all, and...

RACE ON!!!

I don't know what "pipe" you are referring to. Is it part of the A.I.R. system? If so, it can make a difference, but it can be done without. What else is not connected? What were your test readings against what limits?

RACE ON!!!
