Default It appears that after 6.5 years, I have managed to fix my exhaust leak

I'm so stoked I'm posting it everywhere

Yup you heard me...I am certainly the old pro at this job now. Started at 10am finished before 4 and took a lunch break, a snack break, and sit around doing nothing for a few minutes break This is the 5th time I have fixed it and it has already latest the longest of any fix.

To give you an idea why I only try fixing it once a year...to do this job I need to clear out the engine bracing, take off the valve cover (one was leaking a little so I needed to that repair anyway) and then jack the motor off the frame mount on one side so it pivots up giving me room to remove the header

As you can see....the gasket was complete gone (again)

But with the help of Mr. Percy

I am hoping this will not happen again. But only time will tell

First time ever caught on video without a header leak. I was ready and shot this at first firing


And then another one after a couple miles and with the hood back on...so far so good
