Badass. Pretty straight forward.

What kind of exhaust and what's the clearance there? I can't wrap my head around mine because I bet they would occupy the same space.

It's exhaust manifolds crosses over between the engine and trans to a y pipe and out the driver side. It's pretty crazy with the links in the back. Nearly touching the body
 
I dented the gas tank skid pretty good on the trail. Had a bit of a wiring issue with the ign to the starter. The wire melted the housing and wasn't turning over the motor. We spliced in about 6" to get it running on the trail. I need to replace the whole wire now. What is the block thing on the firewall it runs through? I also wanna re seal the timing chain cover because it has developed a pretty good leak. How hard is that to do?
 
Bulkhead connector

Timing cover isn’t too bad, just time consuming. Sure it’s not the main seal?
 
It looks like it is seeping from the timing chain cover. I wiped it off and another drop started forming shortly after

looks like someone wiped a bunch of RTV all over that area. Interesting rub mark on your harmonic balancer too.

Possibly from when the motor was installed. I was overseas at that time and a friend got it and put it in for me

Haha, that rub mark is odd unfortunately I know what's causing it :eek1:

not surprised it cracked there.....looks like a hammer scar to me.

Box the inside of the frame, but you really need to tie your cage into the front of your frame.

I know. Was waiting until winter or spring to tie in the front and ls swap. Tear all out and replace/fix
