Finally got the old exchangers off. What a gigantic PITA. I figured they'd fall right off after removing the exhaust stud bolts, but noooooooo. It took about 1 hour of coaxing per side (and a ton of cursing) before they let go.
Here's the old: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |

And here's the new (to me), courtesy of my friend Bill (porsha916). He also set me up with all the required parts necessary to complete the job. With just a bit more cleaning up these will look almost new. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
The first question I have regarding the install (I'm sure there will be more to follow): From what I have read from other posts, the new gaskets should be heated before installing. Is this true? Can I use a torch, and how can I tell when they are hot enough? Also, assuming that the SS exhaust will be just as big of a PITA to install as it was to remove the old ones, how do you get the exchangers installed before the gaskets cool down? Thanks! |
