strange leak, help need

[ika]

Hi,


What is the source of this leak, exhausts gasket ?

 

[Phill2]

Either the exhaust gasket or the coupler

I had the exhaust bolts back put causing the same leak..

Exhaust bolts were loose. Looking the way to prevent loose exhaust bolts.

They make high temp thread locker or you could use these... http://www.davesmotors.com/fd106stage8fasteners_2.html

Unfortunately CPI pipe does not have enough space for such installation.

Red Loctite will fix it

Just make sure your bolts are clean and allow 24 hrs to cure

Can't find thread , where exhaust bolt drilled and fixed by wire.

Its a crafty and effective way to keep them from backing out...when you remove material from the head of the bolt you run a higher risk of it snapping???? Maybe/ maybe not...Its still a crafty mod and may have to try it if I have this issue in the future.

Safety wire is a very good way to keep them from coming loose, must be why Nasa and Military use the technique

We use that method in Aerospace all the time. Every employee has to be certified on how to do it if you work in the shop.

I used this and it completely solved the loosening bolts issue. Works great.

I think it will be hard to remove, even may damage threat or bolt when removing.
