Weavie Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I have just rebuilt my 1700 Xflow engine but there is a leak where the exhausts bolt onto the head. I am using standard thin gaskets (dry). I had this problem several years ago and fixed it by fitting some thick gaskets (5-8mm) but I can't find any on the web. Any suggestions please?

Ian Macquarie Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Vulcan Engineering supplied me with some thick gaskets when I had my engine rebuilt by them. I'm not sure whether he sell them separately but it's worth asking.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
