Ram recommends coating the contact surfaces with Never-Seez although I found that the *Permatex* *Nickel*Anti-Seize high temp paste is less expensive and works perfectly on the Lancair exhaust. Apply whenever the exhaust is apart. It will help seal small leaks, allows parts to move during operation and I find this prevents a lot of leaks. It also prevents engine vibration being transferred to airframe. Since applying the Permatex to the Legacy, all the small leaks are gone and the slip joint are visibly sliding--before they were stuck. Here's the Permatex item I used. A can goes a lifetime. Auto stores, Amazon, lots of places to buy http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-77124-Nickel-Anti- Seize-Lubricant/dp/B0002UENJ2 Paul Legacy On 7 August 2013 06:31, Greenbacks, UnLtd. wrote: > From trolling through the archives, I note several references to exhaust > gases leaking by slip joints. > --001a11338bfe7ac28704e35bc1c2 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
