Can any one out there comment on the idea of cutting off the 6 inches or so of the heat exchanger where it meets the heads and adding flanges there so that the exhaust can be dropped without disturbing the head joint?
I have a spare set of heads so I ws thinking of mounting the heat exchangers, slicing and then tack welding the flanges while still in place. I was thinking of using V flanges with rings as well so you could still get to the head studs with a socket. Ideas? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

The port end of SSIs is rather flimsy.
