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.... |

..the chop stick story pops up every once in a while (happened about 10ish years ago)...it's from the "what not to do" techniques while working on a 914. trying to find top dead center poking a chop stick thru your spark plug hole. I cringe just thinking about it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
