This is a simple way I've found to install the copper exhaust seals.
Remove residue from port surface with a long flat scraper or screwdriver. Coat seal on one side with wheel bearing grease. Lift seal into place being sure it is properly seated. Lift exhaust into place and keep pressure on it until you have at least two nuts keeping it snug. Finish installing the remaining nuts, tightening them uniformly. If you hear leakage from a single cylinder it can be isolated by removing one spark plug wire at a time from the running engine. |
