Move muffler no. 4 backward enough to allow the
exhaust pipe to be pulled out.
Inspection
Inspect exhaust pipe condition paying attention for
cracks or other damage. Check joints, coupling ar-
eas, heat shield and hoses. Replace any defective
part.
Installation
Installation is essentially the reverse of the re-
moval procedures. However, pay particular atten-
tion to the following.
Apply high temperature RTV sealant (P/N 293 800
090) on the welds of the exhaust tube, while the
exhaust pipe is removed from the muffler.

2. Exhaust pipe
Loosely install clamps no. 3 on muffler hose.
Insert the exhaust pipe end in the exhaust hose.
Align the exhaust pipe flange to the engine mani-
fold.
NOTE: To achieve a good fit, it could be necessary
to push the exhaust pipe further down into the
hose over its step. Note distance if pushed over
step, then cut hose by obtained measure.
Pre-align the exhaust pipe no. 1 by rotating (axially)
and moving (longitudinally) the muffler so that the
exhaust pipe flange makes perfect contact with
theenginemanifold.
