2011-01-25 Dave: Clutch Installed
Continued work on exhaust; Big Chief found error in exhaust mounting; Cross over plate would not tighten, was binding on the exhaust; Also exhaust was binding on clutch rod spring; See IMG 0163; Loosened exhaust pipes from manifold; Loosened exhaust clamps; Removed pipe from first exhaust connection; Used Vaseline on pipe joints and sanded each joint with fine sand paper; Note- the problem was the joints were not fitting tight enough in order to allow precise pipe alignment, taking pressure out of the reinforcement plate and elsewhere down the exhaust line; This correction worked perfectly and the exhaust fell into place; Reconnected crossover reinforcement plate, reconnected mufflers to exhaust, adjusted out perfectly; Note- much, much better fit and alignment; Connected and tightened clamps, both before and after the crossover reinforcement plate; Tightened and torqued crossover reinforcement plate to correct pressure, 100 ft lbs per inch; Connected rear exhaust pipes to rear mufflers and left in place;
