1978/79 GTS

[GTSPhil]

So I made another discovery by chance.

This is the flywheel housing cover, end cover AKA wok....

I measured the hole where the clutch plunger operates and found it to be way out of spec and very worn indeed.


   


and a better suited wok that is less worn.


   


While I was at it, the plunger and release bearing was renewed also.


   


I decided to use the engine test stand and run the engine before fitting it back into the body and find anymore problems before hand preferably.  I ran the engine with only the LCB but it still so loud that I had to make a plan.  
I modified the LCB side like so...


   


And the silencer like so....


   


Then I could successfully run the engine and ensure no more little niggles...


   


All connected and fluids checked and all systems go.
