1924 L exhaust and clutch
John Kelso
This is a two part question first I'm in the process of replacing my leaking exhaust manifold gaskets. My car is equipped with the down draft carb modification. Lifting the intake manifold I discovered in the upper port leading out of the manifold a freeze plug closing off this port but not tight, it was held down with a nut used as a spacer between it and the intake.Seems strange to me that the plug isn't tight but I've seen stranger things,any thoughts?
Second, clutch, there was a thread in the spring of 14 about cleaning of the clutch. Yes I have read about cleaning with gasoline. This is also something I need to tend to but the post ended with posted pictures by Mr. Tremaine. There didn't seem to be any resolution to the question, posted. Is this still a good practice.
Thank you for the help and advise,
John Kelso

The clutch cleaning procedure is located in the Lincoln Service Book page 50 under Care of the Clutch. John Kelso
