Hi all,
I should have taken more detailed pictures of my engine and tins upon disassembly. I did, not but enough of them and of course the pictures I don't have of certain tins are exactly the ones I am not sure where and in what order they go.  I also just opened a set of heat exchangers I purchased over 6 months ago. Kinda tells you the rocket fast pace I am moving. I think I have spent more time in front of the motor and transmission with friends talking shop and drinking beers. I noticed a tiny hole and a couple of little cracks on the edges of one of the exchangers. Is this cosmetic or something that needs attention? And of course the Tins, do they go on before or after the exchangers? I have found a spot for most of the other tins, and these are the last two. Please don't tell me I have to remove everything to get them on... ha. As always, much appreciated for any feedback and guidance. Pictures attached.   |

Pinholes or cracks in the outer shells of the exchangers are fine and will only result in losing a bit of heat. The ones in your photo are minuscule and you won't notice and difference in the cabin when the flappers are open.
If the exhaust pipes within are cracked, throw them out. The only way to test them is to do a pressure test to find out if they leak. The tin you've circled in the diagram fastens to the underside of the exchangers and are installed after the exchangers are installed. |
