This just isnt reading right to me guys. You shouldnt need gasket goop or anything like that .
Lets go right back to the start
1) remove the system
2) run a straight edge across all the pipe ends make sure one isnt slightly tweaked backwards If so a bit of GENTLE perswasion to line em up.
3) clean any silicone and crud out of the exhaust ports.
4) fit exhaust system into place hecking for any hooking up on lips etc.and finger tighten all 9 bolts
Do NOT tighten ANY bolts
5) tighten the exhaust studs to 10foortpounds in a 1,8,,3,6,7,2,5,4 sequence Go to 25 foot ponds and repeat the sequence then to full tight .
Then tighten the other mounting bolts.
It sounds a bit anal -but its kinda like torquing down a head gasket -if ya dont do it stuff can get all twisted outa shape.
Do this first before silicone etc
Ohh and it does sound unusual not having some sort of gasket.
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
