Engine tin and heat riser covers line up

Post by Seibert66 »

I'm struggling with lining up the engine tin with the heat riser covers...could someone send me a picture of how they sit when installed? Is the heat riser cover supposed to rest on top or under the engine tin? I currently have the cover sitting on top and it doesn't seem quite right...

I figured it out...the engine seal was not correctly positioned and it was preventing me from lining all the tin parts in the proper spots...

Do you put the rubber gasket on top or bottom of breastplate? I always put it on top, but had trouble getting fresh air hoses one. Then switched to bottom. Not sure how it was from factory. Casey

I think the factory seal hugs the breastplate partially hovering over (on top)...my rubber seal is broken in several spots and not properly set. I need to install a new one. I have the new engine seal from Wolfsburg West and I have been dragging my feet because it's not an easy install in such tight quarters...one of these days I'll tackle it...
