zeds4ever Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Removed the extrctrs of my Z today to find where the Bloody "Tick " noise was coming from , suspicions were founded when the tell tale mark was evident. Where the mnfld bolts up to the head there is not a great deal of metal area where it's leaking. Thinking about welding adtnl area & filing back. Any suggestions about using some adtnl method to ensure that I don't encounter this problem again. Like gasket goo, aeroplane glue or some other ingredient that will assist. Regards. Alan Quote
zeds4ever Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Fixed the bugga, had 3ml machnd off face.Re fitted using aeroplane gasket goo. Good as I hoped for . Regards: Alan. Quote
MaygZ Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Glad you have fixed it but Aviation gasket glue is not suitable for high temp joints. It will burn, become brittle and blow out. The right stuff is a tan coloured exhaust sealant. It resists the high temps. I can't recall the name, but it's readily available in all the auto stores. Being that you have had the face machined so it's nice and flat, it may not be an issue for you. Good luck. Quote
