Title: Silencer joint - which material to use. Post by: ANTA on December 09, 2010, 12:04:46 PM Which material to use for sealing (as gasket) the joint b/w the exhaust port and the silencer?
Title: Re: Silencer joint - which material to use. Post by: saurabhhsrivastavaa on December 09, 2010, 12:15:30 PM I have used Silicone Gasket Maker... (Translucent color) Works Good.
Have also used Anabond Gasket maker (red color) - this is also good. Title: Re: Silencer joint - which material to use. Post by: sushil_anand on December 09, 2010, 12:35:59 PM Normally not required unless the surface of the mounting flange has been damaged.
Title: Re: Silencer joint - which material to use. Post by: flyingboxcar on December 09, 2010, 01:20:41 PM Get high temprature gasket sheets from your local auto market, cut out gaskets and hey presto you have tight non leak joints.
The trick to cut out the gasket is use the old stamp pad. Make an ink impression on the gasket with the muffler and you can easily cut it out. Gaskets can also be made out of thin and soft aluminum sheets in the same manner. Title: Re: Silencer joint - which material to use. Post by: ANTA on December 09, 2010, 07:33:17 PM Thanks all for your precious advice. :bow: :salute: I got Anabond Gasket maker (red color), High temp. silicon RTV from a local hardware shop. I think this will be perfect for my car engine rather than a sheet type.
