hi folks,
i'm replacing (tonight) the intake/exhaust manifold on my 18RC after botching this operation during christmas (after fixing broken welds on the exhasut side)
i've got a plain-vanilla gasket from autobahn (protorque) as there's no performance options for this gasket apart from cutting your own metal version.
i've got a choice of:
Hylomar jointing compound (spraycan)
Proseal Copper XS hi-temp RTV silicon
to coat both sides of hte gasket
when i first built the motor, i use the red coloured hi-temp silicon on the manifolds and anything else that got pretty warm and none of them leaked.
what would you use?
(when i re-assembled the manifold in Dec, i didn't re-tighten the nuts after bolting it up - so it failed within a few days - i didn't read the instructions on the hymolar can...)
tia, charles.
