Clutch time! But I hit a snag. I got everything off in prep to remove the trans but found one minor drawback to the PTP manifold. It slightly curves around the transmission just enough to keep it captive! Now I have to pull the manifold, which means possibly the turbo as well, ugh.
That would be a good plan. I would do that myself but once it is in it is a quite a pain to extract back out. Im most not that motivated at the moment...
Do you have a catch can? if so, does it fill up and how often if it does?
Yeah, in fact it was leaking and oil was finding its way onto the downpipe. I am pretty certain that is what caused my little fire back in December. I have since fixed the leak but watching it like a hawk. I empty it every month or so but it doesn't get much during a month, maybe a quarter full.
Oh okay, mine was full when I checked it last and it usually takes longer but then again since running E85 I have been beating on her more lately. I am do for my yearly compression test though.
Almost seems like there's a threshold with the amount of oil that gets dumped into the catch can. Mine seems to fill up a lot faster when I run anything over about 11psi.
Yeah, there aren't many "affordable" options for the clamping power I need so I went with what I am familiar with. I liked it before, no complaints. I really think my last one was worn prematurely by my failing clutch pedal. It has been welded/reinforced. Plus I am putting in a stainless clutch line.
