Installed replacement clutch cover
Last night I cleaned, sanded and rubbing alcoholed the used clutch cover that I got in last week.
It was a poorly painted black that was orange peeled and chipped paint. A mess and filthy inside the cover as well. But it looks solid.
The clutch cover that I fixed with JB Weld has a greater leak out the clutch release rod hole than I thought.
After removing the lowers for the fan switch job last Thursday it was easier to see much more oil than I had thought was coming up. Still nothing major, and the JB Weld job cut down 99% of the leak and got me thru two weeks of heavy use so I’m grateful.
I also removed the clutch lever and bent it back to it’s original shape (prior owner left low side damage I never repaired), and I painted it green, and sanded down the pitted and rusty lever adjuster and painted that green as well. Also, the bar end I scraped down to bare metal I sanded lightly and sprayed that again too.
Installed everything leisurely before lunch in a couple hours. I will test it either today or by Wednesday at latest for leaks and to see if the rad fan will come on.
