[DML] Re: how to change the pan oil ? (Exhaust Crossover Pipe)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ouch -- Totally forgot about the exhaust crossover pipe (mine is
gone). Yet another reason to convert to dual exhaust.

Speaking of clutch hydraulics: You haven't lived until you've changed
them without the crossover pipe in the way. Makes slave cylinder
installation a 2-3 minute job. I still find it easier to bleed from
above however due to bleeder screw angle. You can also reach the
ignition distributor *EXTREMELY* easily (are looking right at it), but
the fuel/air mixture assembly is still too close remove the wires.
Heater core takeoff barb is easy too.

Almost forgot: without an exhaust crossover pipe you can reach into
the Valley of Death to change vacuum hoses! Can even see into it if
you stick your head up next to the transmission (are looking across it
more than down into it). Can reach the idle speed motor takeoff too.

Next time you're around a dual exhaust car, climb underneath. Am
willing to bet you'll be amazed. Take it for granted now so it never
occurred to me to jack mine up at Pigeon Forge. Apologies.
