Jason,

I had a F&F on my 1.9.  Also had a couple problems with it.
It was installed on the heater line about a foot toward the front of the
vehicle from the right head.  Had a rock fly up and break the cap on a dirt
road in the middle of nowhere.  Also, the main through tube warped from the
hot coolant coming off the head.  No longer round, but had a dip in it which
allowed coolant to escape.  Finally took it out just last month.
