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

Little late in bumping this thread. Never to late to check those SSI exchangers you have waiting to install.

Little late in bumping this thread. Never to late to check those SSI exchangers you have waiting to install. Thank you Garold. This IS an important thread for 914 owners. Garold or I or someone else should post this, at least, every heating season. Don't avoid using SSI's but be sure to check for CO if you do. Brad Mayeur |
