Grubbster Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 As per my other posts I seem to have a very noisy Powerspeed 4-2-1 so I am taking it all off and reinstalling it (in case it is leaking). Stumped straight away though! I can't pull the silencer off of the 4 primaries! I only used a smear of silicon to seal them so I thought it would haved pulled off easily, anyone know the secret to doing this??

Grubbster Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Its off What a bu99er though, still, at least I can check it all now and hopefully solve the problem. Looks like I may have had a leak at the manifold gasket. Roadsport build photo's here Le Mans 2004 photo's here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sootysevener Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi grubbster I had the same problem with leaking manifold on my powerspeed 4-1 and cured the problem which I think was down to warping of the mating plate on the siamese 2&3 by smearing some silicone on the copper gasket on the header side. Stinks like crazy as it sets under heat but seems ok now David 1989 1700XF SS with upgraditis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
