Circlips that are not distorted are fine to reuse.
If it needs goo to stay in place, you need a new one.
Ifit Pops into place, it's good.

Have you reinstalled the sidecover?

I still have to put the clutch back.  Grin ... amongst other things

I just have the cover on for weather. right now.

I seem to remember that the clip is easy to move around. Huh It's been put back on a few times. Can't say there's anything wrong in particular. Huh I don't know...

They can be reshaped, but they are brittle. Just go to a hardware store and get a new one. I made do fixing copiers, but the price of failure is different.

Putting something
INSIDE THE ENGINE
That you don't Trust
Isn't just Cheap.
It's dumb.
If you glop RTV on it and Wonder if said RTV could come off and plug something up, what are you Thinking?
For what? The price of a Circlip? You would risk seeing the tensioner without a retainer and the circlip loose in the engine?

Change your name.
You're not that new
Nobody is that cheap.

And how is it
Cheap
Risking engine damage instead of spending pennies on a clip?

I'm wasting my time..

What if I can't find anyone around with an appropriate snap ring?

So, since you can't Know the outcome of a search, that, somehow, justifies Not Looking?

Do you even have a clue just how ridiculous that excuse for a logical position Is?

You
Might have an assortment at home, but , you didn't think to look,while you packed goo on the thing, then TOOK A PICTURE of it, and asked
Gee, guys,how stupid is this?
Will the goo cause problems?

Ask, get advice, THEN DO.

Nobody can see the condition of the clip now.

So, since you aren't SURE the food you want is in the kitchen, you'll just sit down and be hungry?

My FORMER SIL is, was, a failure. He seemed satisfied that he always had an excuse. I pointed out that when he had nobody left to keep him afloat, then excuse or no excuse, when he was homeless, he'd just be homeless. Parents only support for so long. He didn't stay out of jail for long after I threw him out.

If it's not organized, organize it.
If you're lazy, organize it. It's easier to live in an organized place.
Takes less effort to get through the day.
I am ready for the new screen name.
You're not a newb anymore.
And there's nothing attractive about the name.
Surely you can harness the OCD and sit flat on your lazy butt and make a list of names.
Ohh, do it scientifically.
Ten that start with each letter..
I'm not even reading the crap you write.
If you don't get it together, pay attention, ta k e action,, you'll be the first member to achieve alienating the whole group.

Have you performed any tests on the TW?
Have you twisted off any bolts?
I've never seen anyone proclaim their laziness as if it's something to boast about and is an excuse for doing nothing.

I'll reply when you announce results. Excuses for doing nothing will get nothing.

I still haven't seen how much of your life have you spent playing video games.
Why do I suspect that it's a substantial amount?




Kenny , Yes, I suspect you're right. I don't know why I try.
I can just see his dad, so sick of telling him what to do and how to do it that he either just lets it go undone or wordlessly just Does it. I'll bet he just walked in, grabbed the drill, and nailed the busted exhaust bolt.
Too bad CN was able to find the never used, God knows where they were, EZouts. I wonder if dad mumbled something about

Keep drilling it out, and tap it.

Well, here's your results, Justin. I had to go buy some fasteners to replace some lost ones. I wasn't very happy earlier today. Sad

He had some 8mm snap rings in stock, so I picked one up while I was there. You can see how the old one was spread. Not good. I didn't know until I had a new one to look at. I found my snap ring pliers, so things are going okay.

Sorry for the double image. You can still see how far the old one was spread.
