AKheathen Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 just lick it befor you stick it man :yucky: i do it almost daily, and sometimes multiple times a day :yelrotflmao: OIT. just rub some spit on the o-rings before you shove the pipes in. i prefer it over lube, especially in high heat areas, because some lubes can harden like resin and are a pita to clean :: Quote

spurdy Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 i lube it up and still wont go in..lol ahaha i put the o ring on and man its a pain to put the pipes on to the cub cylinder...FUCK and Suggestions or secrets to install...fuck and i notice that also my left pipe when i put it on it hits on my cool heads...fuck!!!!!!! im stressting I used a map gas torch to heat and expand the flange area. The heat doesn't hurt the o-ring and I use high temp RTV silicon as a sealant which also acts as a lubricant for installation. I know alot of guys on here let the sealant dry prior to installation, but I haven't tried that and would think that may make installation harder. After I get the header pipe on, I wipe the excess sealant off and make sure the area between the 2 flanges (cyclinder and pipe) has a nice smooth bead of sealent. Looks good and doesn't leak.

Bingo... I actually used my old Orings from older pipes because the new ones from Shearer were being a little difficult... Dab of RTV, Grease, whatever.... A 200 or so grit wet/dry sandpaper on the exhaust flange if absolutely necessary...you're only removing .001 or so... Quote
