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.... |

On this topic:
Is there really any difference between the early and late sealing rings? They have different part numbers, but I thought the exhaust ports were all the same. If you hunt you can get rings at about $1 so why bother reusing? |

Anyone? . . . . . . . . Beuler? Yes, but it's negligible. The early ones have a slightly smaller ID. You'd be hard pressed to identify one vs the other without having them next to each other. |

I have found them a bit less expensive. |
