Default Re: 1983 Marathon Gas - Clutch Issue

Man, if I poked that cylinder full of rope it would surely get caught in a port and I would be pulling the Head to retrieve it! Yikes... Been there done that, no fun. I replaced the Piston/Rings/Wrist Pin Bearing a few years ago! Seeing as how I already 'rattled' it lightly, I may call it snug unless something arises. I didn't remove the Clutch from the shaft, so it should still be well seated.

On that crazy Engine Cradle / Wishbone Rear Suspension. I fabricated a mount set up from some left over shock absorber isolators and used a couple of Body to Frame mount washers I had floating around. Thus far, no vibrations and I promise this setup will NOT have lateral movement issues!

I'll report back with further adventures....
