Exhaust Leak Part II

Exhaust Lead
Fixed (we hope) a nagging exhaust leak at the connection of the tailpipe flange to exhaust manifold. Because we have attempted to fix this before with short term success, we’re afraid it may be caused by misalignment of the exhaust assembly. We really had to put a lot of force on the connection to get all the bolts to line up. We replaced the gasket and used Permatex Ultra Copper. Time will tell.
