Exhaust manifold

Post by greyek »

Hi all,
Anyone else have trouble with the original grey motor exhaust manifold leaking, due to corrosion / warping. It looks to be leaking with a new gasket, along the top of the exhaust manifold. Can you machine them flat again?
Regards

Hi CC,

Yes had that problem. Tried new gasket then tried copper heat gasket silastic which just blew out after a short run. You can easily fix it yourself. See my post on page two. Post up any other questions you might have.
