エキマニ割れる２回目。Exhaust manifold cracks again.

　割れる～、割れる～よ、マキシムは割れる♪♫♩
マキシムのエキマニが割れるのは、宿命か？

今回は１番の排気管から、（前回は３番）
ということで、修理してきました。

朝方まで降り続いた雨は奇跡的に止み曇りに、これはチャンスとばかりに、
まず、溶接屋へお伺いに、「エキマニを外して来たら当日中に直せます？」って
＝「夕方には直せますよ」とのこと。

濡れた地面に寝転んで、外して、ドロドロだけど、なんか気分良し。

それで夕方に修理は完了して、

暗くなる前には車両に取り付けて、エンジンをかけると、フロアの下あたりから、
爆音が・・・蛇腹からか？ガスケットからか？
今日は暗くなったので、次の日に確認するつもり。
まぁ、蛇腹のクラックでしょ？と予想をつけて

実は、蛇腹が寿命に近いのは分かっていたので、
蛇腹の補修部品は注文してきたのでそれまで持てば良いのだよ。

と、この時は思って、酒飲んで寝たんだけど、この後大変なことに。

つづく。

Is it fate that the Maxim exhaust manifold cracks?

This time from a No. 1 exhaust pipe (previously a No. 3)
So I had it repaired.

It went on raining until this morning after that it was a cloudy.
It was a fortunate opportunity for me.

First of all, I asked the welder. If I remove the exhaust manifold.
Would it be possible for you to fix by the end of the day?

= The welder said.It's possible by the evening.

I lie down on the wet ground and removed it. I got muddy. But I felt good.
After that the exhaust manifold was repaired by the evening.

I installed it to the vehicle and start the engine. I heard a loud exhaust note from bottom of the floor. Is that from the bellows? or from a gasket?

It has come dark outside today. so I'll check it the next day.
Well, I guess it's crack form bellows.

Actually, I knew that the bellows was near the end of its life.
So I have ordered the bellows repair parts.
I just wait it to arrive until then.

At this time I thought that.
I drank and went to bed.
But after that it was a big deal.

to be continued.
