My carbs are popping on decel. It could be timing, but I bet that my Eurorace headers are leaking from the collector. I know I can see exhaust coming from it at idle.
I think I remember seeing some sort of aluminum tape that you could put on exhaust pipes to seal a leak. I thought that might be an easy way to seal up those joins after I have the pipes ceramic coated. Anyone know anything about it? What have others done to stop the collector leaks on their EuroRace headers? Zach |

I have fiberglass exhaust wrap around mine. I doubt it plugs any leaks, but the header was a little less than tight at the collector and the wrap really tightens it all up as well as saving my cables from the heat. The header is ceramic coated, so I am hoping all the bad issues with rust found doing this (exhaust wrap) will not be a problem. After a year part of the wrap is worn, so I may unwrap it soon to check/maybe replace/clean out the crap it is likely collecting. My cables are doing great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Use that red RTV on the stub pipes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
