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?

Chris C/Gang:

To the best of my knowledge, the antiseize compound is applied for just
that, to prevent seizing.

My experience indicated the ball joints should be good enough fit to prevent
leaking. I think it is normal for antiseize compound to be lost from the
joints from exhaust gas heat.
