When I returned home from the Farm, I had lost an exhaust stud (mid trip back I notice boyh nuts were gone, replaced one nad realized bottom stud was missing as well.
Took it off today to replace studs and noticed that the large ring on the end of the pipe that goes into the head that is head by the clip then the metal bracket was missing.
I don't see any evidence of it or the clip ring. If the part is there its now welded to the head -- will have to measure anoure head to see if I need to gently grind it out. or if ther eis enough space for new gasket and pipe to seal well.
Any tricks for removing the baffle -- seems to be stuck pretty good in the pipe.
