Title: Old Exhaust Gaskets Post by: The ModFather on July 19, 2012, 06:37:09 PM Removed my headers to put on new Boom Tubes and there were no exhaust gaskets in the exhaust ports.
Well actually they were there but they were so old and compressed you could barely distinguish them. I had to use a screw driver to pop them out. Pickin up new ones tomorrow.

Title: Re: Old Exhaust Gaskets Post by: memper on July 20, 2012, 04:19:16 AM Right, but I'm sure you could find exhaust gaskets that work just fine that are not "Ducati".
Title: Re: Old Exhaust Gaskets Post by: The ModFather on July 20, 2012, 04:24:44 AM I havent checked with my local Duc Shop yet but I did find these online....

Those aren't the gaskets.Those pieces push the pipe into the gasket because the flange pushes on them. Title: Re: Old Exhaust Gaskets Post by: Dellikose on July 21, 2012, 06:53:08 AM Learned something new today, thanks DP.
Looks like I've been running without them or the old ones are still there, just smashed/baked to nothing! Title: Re: Old Exhaust Gaskets Post by: ducpainter on July 21, 2012, 07:17:59 AM Learned something new today, thanks DP. They're probably in there. They compress pretty flat.Looks like I've been running without them or the old ones are still there, just smashed/baked to nothing! They aren't much money from the dealer. If they aren't leaking leave it alone. Title: Re: Old Exhaust Gaskets Post by: dlearl476 on July 21, 2012, 09:58:16 AM FWIW, I bought a kind of Dental pick from a surplus tool place. Straight on one end, 90 degree in the other. 90 side is perfect for pulling the old gasket.
Me, I use a new one every time, Dame with exhaust nuts. Firm believer in the adage "if you don't have time to do it right, you certainly don't have time to re-do it.". :D |
