Hello all!
While I'm pulling out my tranny for a Dr. Evil's clinic next month, I'm going to try to track down an exhaust lead as well. I'm going to pull my heat exchanges and give 'em the file dress down as a start and look for gaping holes of course. My question is which copper gaskets do I need to use? I have a 1.8, but the heat exhangers are from a 2.0. Do I match the engine, or the heat exchanger? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks! |

Jerry, have you been to High Performance House? Rich will be able to answer your question and provide you with the right part. He likes cash. I do think there are two sizes of gaskets, but the difference is the i.d. not o.d (I could be wrong).. Also heat your copper gaskets until they are red hot (on the stove works well) then let them cool slowly before you install them. This will soften the copper and give you a better seal.
Also check out Global Metric in Belmont for new nuts and bolts. They will have the copper nuts you will need to reattach the HEs (so will HPH) and any other nuts or bolts you may need. Do you have SS HEs? |
