16 cm housing install

Here are some pictures of the housing install. Total time was 2 hours with cleanup. Spent the last week adding penetrating oil to the bolts and housing and then with a few hits with the hammer it came apart, much to my relief.

To great relief the housing begins to seperate, the thin red line.

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.
