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! |

If you had a leak at the head/HE connection, you would hear it ALL the time, and you could see it by the carbon deposits around the leaking gasket. BTW, the nuts described in an earlier replu are NOT copper, they're steel and have a deformed section to lock them in place. The factory DID NOT use those (or any other) locking nuts. I don't recommend them.
