Re: [ST] Question - for Jeremy



Thanks, I did find the crush washers firmly entrenched in the head.  Bought a set from the local dealer, got them home and discovered they are the wrong shape.  Long dimension too long, short dimension too short.  And they're closed on Mondays, so I can't yell at them until Tuesday.  :0(

> I noticed no gaskets and what looked like a bit of blue RTV around
the connection to the engine during removal.  The manual doesn't
mention how to properly reattach the header, or I simply can't find
it.  Does anyone know if I should be using some sort of sealant or
gasket to reattach? <


The parts microfiche shows 3 copper crush-type gaskets p/n T2200067.
Make sure the old ones aren't lurking under the exhaust port soot
build-up.  Recommend you loosely attach the header to the bracket back
by the center stand prior to tightening the mounting nuts at the
cylinder head.
