I posted this previously, heating season is here again. These are big cracks, a tiny one you would not be able to hear would still be dangerous. These are not accident damaged. If you have a set on your car, grab the carbon monoxide detector from home and take a ride with the heat on and windows rolled up. There is a detector used in small aircraft also available. The last photo is how we now test for leaks using air pressure. Brad
This post is still relevant today some 15 years since I first posted it. A large number of these early SSI's are still around in parts stashes and yet to be restored 914's. The currently available heats are most likely safe. I have not found anything similar in a stock, even rusty heat exchanger. STAY SAFE! Brad Mayeur Attached image(s)
