Hey guys, this is something of a continuation thread of these last two threads.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=76498 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=76175 The eurorace header showed up today! YES!!! Here is a pic of it sitting in the garage somewhat assembled. Now I have a couple questions: 1: Do I use only new copper gaskets? 2: Is there a specific procedure to preparing the gaskets prior to install? 3: Should I use those copper nuts or just double nut the stub pipes to the exhaust ports? 4: Should I do a little dance after putting it all on without any pulled studs? I'll post a pic of the dual motorcycle exhaust once I launch my other computer. If Jake signs in....how much will this help my engine over that dual motorcycle exhaust? Attached thumbnail(s) |

How are you going to double nut the stub pipes to the heads? The only way a double nut provides any locking power is to tighten the nuts against one another. That means getting a wrench on both at the same time. Not sure how you would accomplish that. Simply installing one nut and then installing a 2nd one under it does very little to lock them together.
Do it right and use nuts with a built-in locking feature - like the copper plated nuts have. |
