I installed the heat exchangers with all new gasket and they were leaking . I removed them to adjust and the gaskets are not usable. I had to order new gaskets.
Are there any tricks to the trade ? The headers that I removed had no leaks . These are six HE's. Not the four. |

PM sent Stoddard ? Dansk new version ones ??
If so check flanges. . mine were not parallel to heads and Stoddard recalled them. This is a picture with a straight edge and the gap. . If yours are OE factory exchangers, they [at least mine do] should have a stepped ring on the center of the flange. . You should be able to look at the gasket and see the impression where it mated and see where the leak is. . . I never use these gaskets over as they crush where this ring is. . Attached image(s)
