Might be a little slow on the up-take, but learnin' and getting things done!! Slow, but sure!
Exhaust change from vertical to horizontal, and checked the tappit cover gasket for leaks.
Exhaust is all installed with NO leaking, and NO smoke in my face,.....finally!
Checked the possibility of oil leaks around the valve/tappit cover gasket.(as per being told to change the gasket).....No leaks around or near that area....(four days of running, and nothing shows).!

Next up.....de-greasing the engine and surrounding area, on the next half-way nice day, and after spray down with de-grease foam,
Fire up the pressure washer to get it all cleaned up.

Starting to sink in now!!!.... :lol:

Good for ya, Gary!
Noticed those hyd hoses down there and thought, "I would have those torn off within a day or two!"
 
Job well done. It looks good and professional.
I have to agree tho, I would have the hoses ripped off and probably that new exhaust muffler too in just a couple months.
Question: if you are located in Montana, wouldn't it be a fire concern having that low exhaust? I spend a lot of time there and often can't drive out the ranch due to grass fire hazard.
