meanwhile , the engine is out … and it is the clutch release bearing . It's its melted in one horrible shape. I assume the bearing went bad and friction heat did the rest on the "plastic" housing... so you wonder, why not metal ? You would hear the noise but could drive home ... i think.
O well, now to look for a new clutch kit and some goodies "while i'm in there" .
Also new slave as it pushed the piston out , sticking at a angle, ….with damage on the bore.
Engine ( M16) is just passing, horizontal before lift ,with everything removed , sure not much clearance …. install will be a precision work
