Subject:      Exhaust Leak
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I think (I can hear it and haven't explored it too deeply) that I have an
exhause leak at the cylinder head.  A couple months ago I tried tightening
the bolts real tight and I think the leak is back.  Any ideas of what I
can do?  My ideas are limited to:

1- putting in an extra exhaust gasket.
2- trying to find some compound (like jbweld) to fill in the gaps.
3- buy new exhaust pipes (this is the one I'm trying to avoid).

any other ideas?

thanks,
