I am replacing my 1.8L SS HEs with the OEM steel ones. I have two good HEs; I noticed the outer shell will slide about an inches fore/aft. A previous thread on this suggests sealing the ends of the shell with Red High Temp RTV to prevent heat loss and keep CO out
My question is when can the ends be sealed; can it be done before the HEs are installed ? or after installation ? Is there a reason the shells needs wiggle room ? The SS ones will be looking for a new home...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s)
