| Date: | Mon, 10 Jun 1996 13:38:50 EDT |
Last Saturday I successfully removed the engine from my '77 Westy with the hope of figuring out what is wrong with the left side head. This was certainly the biggest mechanical adventure I have ever untaken and it went very smoothly. Boy these things are easy to work on. It took about 4 hours to drop it and that was working very slowly marking everything. I would like to thank everyone who gave me wisdom and encouragement to get at least this far. Now to my question: I will certainly replace the clutch if needed so what do I look for to tell if it is needed or not. I don't know if the clutch has been replace in the past or not but is possible the previous, previous owner did some work on it although I saw no signs of past engine removal. It at least has not been touched since '92 when the PO bought it since she kept excellent records and had all work performed by professionals. I believe approximately 20-30,000 miles have been traveled since '92. I hope everyone can figure out my ramblings and give me some advice on observable clutch wear. I noticed no slippage when I last drove it. Thanks for your help once again, Brett
