Tubes

Yes! They're disgusting

 

A rag and whatever helps soften it. Brake cleaner might, thinners would.
Use your finger to pick out those bits of sealant on the inside first.

 

The tinware piece may go in with the heat exchangers fitted - there is some knack to it , where you twist it around poking it in , then maybe bend it a little.

The thermostat side should be two pieces, one curved, one flat so you can get at the thermostat with only taking off the rear piece.

 

I've removed the heat exchanges so hopefully it'll all go back together nicely
Also ordered a torque meister from heritage.

Also when I stripped tinware
The rod that connects to thermostat had come off at the flaps end
You'd think it should have something to stop it coming off.

Scat tubes
Thing is do I change the other side just so there both the same.
There's nothing wrong with them and they don't leak

Were the pushrods scraping the tubes?
I'd do them all too, it'll look better.

 

Two of them were like banana shaped I've replaced all four.
