I am guessing, but it appears the clamp was correctly placed, but the pipes were not correctly seated. Over time, the clamp compressed the larger pipe off of the end of the smaller pipe. But again, that is a guess. I am assuming it happened when the engine was replaced years ago??
The diameter of the larger pipe needed to expand some to get over the smaller pipe. It was not an easy thing. I am guessing, but it appears the clamp was correctly placed, but the pipes were not correctly seated. Over time, the clamp compressed the larger pipe off of the end of the smaller pipe. So the clamp and pipe moved together. But again, that is a guess. I am assuming it happened when the engine was replaced years ago?? Not sure when that pipe would otherwise have been touched.
The diameter of the larger pipe needed to expand some to get over the smaller pipe. It was not an easy thing - so no way it was split. I think we did it without affecting the downstream piping. But that will become apparent in due time.
