Hi folks,
Doing a post trip check up today, and found a pretty serious exhaust
leak. The joint where the header pipe meets the flange on Cylinder #1 is
pretty much gone, cracked at the seam. I'd thought I was running a little
loud, now I know why.
The trick is I have to get it inspected next week, and there's neither
the time or funds to start replacing the no-good, one-piece, non-stock
headers I've got. So I'm looking for a temporary fix: putty, bandage, etc.
I'd consider having it welded, too, but not sure how much good metal there
is to work with. Ideas?
The good news is that the compression is still the same after 9,500
miles of hard driving, so at least it looks like I'm just saving up for new
headers instead of a rebuild.
Thanks,
Matt Sutton
