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) |

Twystd1 got most of it - I still gotta say RIGHT ON for hookin me up with my Eurorace last year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
You got it mocked up on the floor - perfect. Take it slow and loose on the install to ensure everything fits. For the stub pipe connections buy some copper RTV and several lengths of bolts. A thin layer of the copper high temp silicone = no leaks on those flat surface interfaces. There are a couple places where the bend of the pipe is too tight to fit long bolts, so you need a short bolt for the tight spot. I also dipped my bolts in milk of magnesia as an anti-seize as recommended by Jake and others. Headers rock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
