Great write up PMB has done on SS exchangers. My car is in for some work and they discovered this problem with my exchangers.
Folks with SS exchangers should give a look. https://www.facebook.com/PMBPerformance/pho...9673193/?type=3 |

QUOTE(GeorgeRud @ Jul 6 2017, 09:47 AM)  Important information! Please be sure to have a CO detector in the car. Yep I have seen this issue, the ears are the weakest link on SSI's. If damaged they should be TIG welded and the ends always need to be squared up. Don't be a gorilla with a ratchet, get a torque wrench, if it doesn't seal up correct the problem don't just keep cranking. If you want the piece of mind of a CO2 detector Aircraft Spruce sells nifty little stick on buttons that you can put on your speedo, etc. They only last for about 18 months, but are dirt cheap. |
