Exhaust carbon build up
Nurse Julie:
Hi Chaps
I've taken the exhaust system off as need to clean up those frilly clamps, where the pipes go in to the head I can see a fair amount of carbon, mainly at the lower side but probably no more than I would expect. Should I clean the carbon out that I can see or just leave it?. Also should i put new gaskets in when I put the pipes back on even though the one's there don't look too bad.
Ta in advance
Julie

I'd scrape out what carbon I could reach while the pipes are off, and trying to re use old exhayst gaskets is asking for spitting and blowing from the head, and popping on the overrun. New gaskets are cheap compared to the aggro of taking it all off again if they leak, and then people try to tighten them up further than they should, and break a stud :o
Nurse Julie:
Does it matter if a bit of carbon goes down into the workings ?
hairygit:
Stuff a bit of rag in each port, that will stop anything getting inside ;D
Nurse Julie:
Thank you :-*
