Subject:Fw: Exhaust gaskets... sealer?
From:Mike Bucchino

Has anyone tried using the thick solid copper racing exhaust gaskets?
They can be installed/ replaced with out removing the exhaust header from
the studs due to slotted bolt holes.  I believe that they're also available
in larger diameter port openings, which would work out well with the Vanagon
ports.
  Als, what about Copper-Coat?  I've heard of this copper-based sealant
that's used by heavy equipment mechanics for gasketless exhaust joints.
Just wondered if anyone has experience with using either of these on
Vanagons or anything else for that matter.......
