Muffler replacement

The exhaust header #4 was not locked because of lack of stud bolt length caused by inserted auto air conditioner mount stay, probably from the very beginning of this automobile had been like in this condition, of course exhaust gas leak was found.
This scenery made me determine to unburden the air conditioning system thoroughly from VW 1302 Super Beetle yesterday.

The procedure was not so difficult but not so easy, energy consuming working was required, the result was so favorable as the operation to remove some long lasted chronic cancer tissue.
The accessing to the bypass screw(34PICT3) and distributor have become so easy like nothing going without saying, very natural scenery.

It took time and time upped yesterday on fitting at exhaust portions with new muffler parts. With unnecessary distortion containing internal stress to cylinder head, setting muffler is not my way, so precise fitting with bolt hales modifying were performed promptly.

In addition, the removing of heat exchanger obtained fine view of stater motor and easy access to the clutch release construction, planning the application of Microflon to the release linkage and release bearing with the grooves of splines, they would be the tasks for coming Sunday.
