Does the length of the lines coming from the basset T to the headers HAVE to  be the same length?  I have seen them both with equal length and with one short.  Will it effect the header water enough to matter?

I asked the same thing on PB. It doesn't really make a difference. Mine are unequal lengths. One side starts steaming just slightly before the other side, but pretty much the same amount of water goes through each side.

But If memory serves, the short one steams first, but steams less :-\

Well I plumbed mine to the same length for now.  One side is a bit strange looking being looped around a bit, but I will try it like that until I get sick of looking at it :P

We Always strive to make all water and fuel etc  lines like that equal length and routing  for the best water flow some times its a bitch but its "cleaner"  and better Tom
