 |
|
Got my new Bluehead in and it runs smooth as silk. Thanks Rotax Rick in Florida for a beautiful engine.
When assembling the exhaust, I used anti-seize compound on the spring knuckle joints which was probably a mistake. It all melts/blows away anyway and just makes a big mess in the engine compartment. It did however, show me a little leak where the exhaust man is attached to the first 90 deg fitting. While the engine's running, I can feel a little jet of hot exhaust spitting back towards the block.
Anyone know of a better way to seal these spring loaded joints?

It shouldn't leak if aligned properly. try re-aligning the exhaust pipes into the knuckles better. The reason the anti seize is blowing out is because you do have exhaust leaks and the pipes are not aligned quite right.
