I installed the heat exchangers with all new gasket and they were leaking . I removed them to adjust and the gaskets are not usable. I had to order new gaskets.
Are there any tricks to the trade ? The headers that I removed had no leaks . These are six HE's. Not the four. |

well,
put a large flat piece of metal across both ends to see if they are on the same plane and will both sit flush on the head. They may not be perfect....so file them to make them perfect. I also suspend the rear with one lose bolt and tighten up the head connections first, so I know those are all set. Then I hang the muffler... Otherwise, at least in my experience, the head leak.
