Hi
my gen 1 has done 132k and have just done the shims and replaced cam chain and tensioner with the help of some mates.
putting it all back together i am trouble with the ais where you clamp the ais pipes to the spigots ( if that is the correct term) by the exhaust pipes.
The jubilee clips are welded to the splayed ends of the pipes and have taken one of the splayed legs with them as in permanent removal of a leg thereby weakening the clamp.
As the ais is apain in the backside i am thinking of removing it but am not sure how you blank off the spigots?
is it done by way of a cover ( from kits that i beleive are sold ) or by tap and die.
if the latter i am not sure i have the skills to do this as no absolutey nothing about this and i am the type of home mechanic that if it can go wrong it will!
So in summary is there something out there which is easy to do rather than too involved and can someone send me a purchase and info link please
The rest of the job i am confident i can do.
Thanks
