Engine out, nearly finished


 Crummy exhaust studs, one broken. The exhaust clamps have completely disintegrated. Probably sea air the caus. Not looking forward to tackling the broken stud. The engine bolts came out easily just the bottom bar bolt with extra large threaded screw had to heat it then quickly cool it and then impact screwdriver with an Allen key  attachment shocked the bolt into moving. The next were the two swingarm bolts.
The last owner plied so much exhaust wrap and sealant Imhad to chisel it off to reveal perfectly good end pipes. The 2into one flange were thrown away. I don’t understand why one would spend all the time !
