16 cm housing install

exhaust port. When I took off the old 18.5 cm housing the gasket had only one opening. by the discoloration I would guess that some exhaust was making its way thrrough the gasket.

Monty and you should get together and make an album of these photos for the Archives.

Good pictures for all of us to see what is looks like to do the housing switch.
