what are you guys doing to seal your DG tri-z pipes?

[evand]

well i couldnt get my pipe to seal on the old motor, and it made a oily mess of everything, i taked to mosh about it when i got my new motor from him, but i cant remember what he told me, i dont know if the stock jug to pipe gasket will work, and there 30 bucks from the dealer:crazy:

what are you guys doing to seal them up?


thanks guy

i used the 2 stock gasket pieces. that collar thing that goes inside the pipe and the gasket that goes between that collar and the cylinder.

got a tube or red rtv silicone and used enough to make sure it wouldnt leak.

if it does leak after it cures for a day, take it all off, and reapply the silicone over the existing hardened stuff.

also, using all 3 springs for pipe help hold it nice and square to the flange on the cylinder.

as always, honda has a much better deisgn

cool, what are you runing for springs? dealer sais they cant get them??

[DeePa]

forget teh size, 2 stock ones will work, one is quite longer though

You need to check with a different dealer. I just ordered them on Wed. and picked up on Friday the 3 springs and and a bunch of other little parts from my local dealer. I used the part #'s from an 86 Tri z.

Your dealer is yankin your chain. I bought 3 OEMs right before I traded the yami away. Mine where all the same size tho. No wonder one of them was one big PITA to get on. :lol:

same i bougth some about a month ago but yea i am having teh same problem as you leaky exhaust

[RID3R]

I also have this problem. Mine had a peice of rubber hose, clamped over the pipe in that area. I was wondering why... I also just have the two springs on, missing the longer one. I dont see how/why all 3 go to that one thing on the cylinder too...

[Sinbad46]

one go to the cylinder and the two other on the cylinder nut, there suppose to have 2 little bracket under the cylinder base nut!

[Bryan Raffa]

only one mount on the stud on the left front.. I put 2 springs on each ,,I'll find out what the one's I get from my guy are.. he buys them in bulk

[evand]

cool. thaks guys

[steven 250sx]

does anyone have a pic of the setup i'm pretty sure i have it right

[RID3R]

So is it one bracket thing under the cylinder nut, for one spring, or is it on both sides, and just one spring goes to the cylinder?.. I would like to see pics too.
