How to Deal with Exhaust Pipe Gasket Leakage?

[Collin]

Here are the specific methods to deal with exhaust pipe leakage. 1. Use the method of wrapping copper wire at the joint to handle the leakage. Cut a section of copper wire from an old cable and wrap it around the joint gasket in a circle, similar to the way straw hats were hand-woven in the past, with each circle tightly wound around the next. The inner circle should be tighter, while the outer circle should be slightly larger and thicker than the joint gasket. 2. Compensate for the leakage by tightening the exhaust pipe joint. By combining the copper wire with the joint gasket and tightening the exhaust pipe joint gasket bolts when the engine is hot, the exhaust manifold leak can be compensated, filling the exhaust manifold gap and significantly improving the joint sealing performance. 3. Patch a piece of iron sheet over the leaking area of the exhaust pipe.
