How do you know you get a good seal at the exhaust port?
The only way to really know is to take down the heaterbox and look for soot on the copper gaskets. But by then you will need to anneal the gasket again and hope that you get a good seal the next time you mount the heater box too.... Tips and tricks are most welcome.... |

It's common for them To catch on the edge. You can use a pry tool to push th offending pipe into place.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Once you've determined which cylinder is leaking loosen the nuts slightly then use a screwdriver or the similar to push the tube to the proper position and tighten. Also... use a straightedge to determine if there is an issue at the sealing edges of the header tubes |
