I posted this last year, heating season is here again. These are big cracks, a tiny one you would not be able to hear would still be dangerous. These are not accident damaged. If you have a set on your car, grab the carbon monoxide detector from home and take a ride with the heat on and windows rolled up. There is a detector used in small aircraft also available. The last photo is how we now test for leaks using air pressure. Brad

I'm pretty sure that SSI made all of the 914 four-cylinder ones. --DD I'm pretty sure that SSI made all of the 914 four-cylinder ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Has the quality of the materials or craftsmanship on the stainless exchangers gone down over the years? The factory exchangers rusted out after 4 years & nearly killed my Pop from CO poisoning, which is why he bought the stainless ones back in 79. |
