RE: 428 Exhaust Leaks

Exhaust leaks on FE's in general seem to be a problem, have the manifolds checked to see if they are flat, if not a light pass on the milling machine is in order. If it has been run for a while with the leak it may have eroded a valley in the head oand /or manifold. I had this problem on a 63 Merc Monetery 390. I pulled the manifold, installed a new gasket and used muffler mend (high temp epoxy) in both valleys (okay, this was '85 and I was young and creative). This lasted at least a year before I sold the car.

This thread, so far...
