Exhaust carbon build up
Bryanj:
even the copper ones have a fibre filling so can't be anealed---also the sump plug washer is ally so heat tp red just gets you a lump of yeuk
Green1:
Iv always used copper washers
Maybe I was lucky then because no:1 pipe leaked I heated the gasket and it seems to have stopped.

Nurse Julie:
With the gaskets still in situ I must say I can't see any copper at all, only what appears to be fibre. I will take them out later and have a closer look but have decided to fit new ones anyway

Depending on the age of the gaskets when fitted, there's a very high chance that the fibres you're seeing are asbestos, so bw especially carefull getting them out as you know how harmful the dust can be:'(

You were right Hairy. Just happend to have some surgical masks at home so put 1 of them on and gaskets straight into a bag and tied, I don't think I will come to any harm with that small amount and they came out without breaking. Thanks for that.
