hi all

have a bit of trouble with the joining the DP and centre section as on the CS isn't a beding for the gasket.

I've used a paste but 'cos of the movement ( i think) it got loose and now it's blowing

any idea whether there is a gasket for not beded pipe?

P.S. yes i don't speak english so if any terms are wrong my appologies

 

I have the same problem so any advice would be good.

Chris

 

I also have same problem....with std dp & SS cp.
Bought a new gaskett @ £27 but not fitted yet.

 

Hi Velryba.

The downpipe to front-of-the-centre section connection is a flexible joint (to allow for engine movement) and hence is not designed to have a fixed gasket or joint paste used on it.
Instead the cone shaped graphite coloured fibre gasket on the end of the downpipe forms it's seal as it wedges itself into the flared front end of the centre section.
I guess that the gasket you are using is knackered as your centre section is quite new as I recall?

well neil

i know about that but the prob is that the cone gasket wont sit in as the middle section has a sharp edges so basicly there is no space for the gasket.

has anyone sort that out?

 

Hmmm, thats obviously different then. I must admit I don't have any suggestions on this one other than to contact the supplier for their advice.
What make is your centre section?

Neil.

 

if i remember correctly its JP
well i will have to try to put something there 'cos its getting worse and worse and loosing too much power which i can literaly feel it now

something must fit in there
