How do you know you get a good seal at the exhaust port?
The only way to really know is to take down the heaterbox and look for soot on the copper gaskets. But by then you will need to anneal the gasket again and hope that you get a good seal the next time you mount the heater box too.... Tips and tricks are most welcome.... |

OK this might be crazy but what about a torque wrench? I heat mine, push them in place with a small screwdriver handle, and they always stay put. quickly put on the exhaust and torque. Have installed about 4-5 x this way and (so far) no leaks. The first time i discovered some crud on the seating area. Carefully cleaned the seating surface and no problems yet.
