Been fighting exhaust leaks on my 2 liter. Running SS exchangers. And yea, I anneal the copper gaskets. And have taken a large file to the pipe ends to get them on the same plane.
MY question is regarding stub pipes. Are they any easier to seal than standard exchangers? I have some old steel exchangers, and am thinking I can make drop tubes from them by cutting the ends off, and adding a flange. Then cut my SS exchangers and add matching flanges. Or maybe flare one side and do a compression fit. What do all ya'll think? |
