Elliot, I just got a set of European Race Headers and am looking for the same gaskets. And the flange between the collector and muffler. If/when I find them, Ill let you know.

How did you seal the transition between the 4- 1 collector (slip joint?) and the headers?

Elliot, that looks like a Thunderbird exhaust flange. I used to use those on my VW's all the time. The Cap'n would know! Try J.C. Whitney or Thunderbird exhaust.

i hate those cone screws. i grind the same pointed profile on a hex head bolt. then drill a 1/16 hole thru the head and saftey wire it. way easier to put in and take out.... AND you can reuse them.

I can always tell when I'm getting tired and need to stop, when I just sit in my beech chair/furnituredolly/creeper and just stare at the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Not so bad. I usually tell when I'm tired when I hit my thumb with a hammer or my head on the lift. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Nice garage setup. Where did you get those hard rubber mats you are using for ramps? I have a midrise lift and could use an extra inch of clearance. (Extra inch jokes start now...)

Thanks,
Justin

The orange RTV is a no no on your pushrod tubes. That's what caused the problem.

Shoddy engine builder.

It's not leaking from the push rod tube. It's not leaking from there because of the copious amount of orange RTV I used to seal them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Look for Horse Stall Mats at Tractor Supply or your favorite horse supply store.

They are recycled rubber, 1/2 inch thick

So, I'm crawling around under the car cleaning up after getting the exhaust off and a few other things done and I feel a sharp, stabbing pain in my left knee. Feels a lot like my right one did when I tore the meniscus. I'm hoping maybe cortisone might help but? This getting old crap is, well, getting old. The upside is, great pain meds after knee surgery.

Elliot, Joel at GT Racing would just love to sell you the gaskets for your headers.

1 800 797-2911

Be warned, they're not cheap.

You might have to wait until Monday for Elyut to reply. I don't think they put him on the "Weekend Release Program" this time.
