I found two badly deformed exhaust seals when I pulled the pipes off the manifolds.
Any tips or tricks to making sure the seals and pipes seat correctly? I'm considering a small drop of glue/sealent to stick the copper seal and pipes together properly - hoping this helps with proper alignment when I bolt the pipes into the manifold. |

Always file the part of the exhaust that contacts the copper gasket. You want a smooth flat surface to press against the copper. I usually put some muffler cement on the copper to help hold it up in the head.
