Headpipe sealant
Headpipe sealant
hi guys, sorry for asking again but I searched a bunch and couldn't find it. What's the name of the sealant you are having success with so there is no leaking at the cylinder?
thanks
thanks

i clean it real good then again with brakleen, ultra copper and let it dry overnight never had issues
tried that stove rope, but couldnt get the pipe on, even after smashing it flat with a rubber hammer and crazy gluing it in place, i think it was 5/16"

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

I have I think 6 pipes...nothing compared to Bobs collection. I love riding rocks so I am constantly bashing pipes which then leads to cracking. I used to clean it up real good and I am just fat old and lazy half the time now and just want to ride. I jam them on with RTV when they are not really all that clean and still have no problems. If you listen to these guys and do it right you will have zero problems. High temp RTV pick a color...I like black, good to go.

the gold stuff is higher temp than the black.
I personally like Chamber-Seal. But, it is hard to find

Chamber-seal ... Now that's a name I have not heard for a long long time.
Where are you finding it these days?
Ultra black for me.

They come off fine with RTV on there. Running a sealant cuts down on vibes and free power increase. Plus you won't wear out your pipe and manifold.Kuma wrote:Am I the only one that doesn't use any sealant?
I have never had a problem yet, the pipe is enough of a bitch to get off now, with sealant seams like it would be nearly impossible without taking off the stub.
Going to take your word for it and seal it up, I noticed after one weekend I had plenty of leakage with new seals.seanmx57 wrote:They come off fine with RTV on there.

So when you do the RTV do you stuill use the stock metal seal?
