two tricks to help heat exchangers to seal :
one take the sealing rings, hang them on a peice of wire and heat em with your propane torch till they are red hot then drop them in to a bucket of water. this will soften them so they deform to the head and heaters with less chance of striping the heads. they will work harden with the temp increase and decrease of the head. two take a long file that will span both inlets of the exchangers at the same time. then just file both surfaces at the same time till they are even and flat with each other. this gives you a good start so you dont have to try to crank them even. scott thacher 75 someday suby power conversion will be completed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |
