Exhaust and Muffler

 Added a few additional heat sleeves for coolant lines running adjacent to the muffler and exhaust pipes.

Next, some high temp anti-seize lubricant (Permatex Nickel #77124) was applied to the ball joints of the exhaust, and all 8 exhaust springs (2 on each exhaust pipe) were installed.  The exhaust springs were safety-tied (prevents the spring from falling off it it ever breaks) using 0.041" stainless wire.  Finally, as recommended by Rotax, we applied high temperature silicone to the springs (we used Permatex Optimum Max Torque).  Hours: 10
