I found some rust blisters on the riser while poking around in the engine the other day. I had a moment yesterday to do the replacement with parts which I have had for some time. The rubber exhaust hose was stuck on and a considerable amount of wrestling was required to separate it from the riser. In the effort it went unnoticed that some of the rust blisters had broken away. Once I finally got it off and had a chance to inspect I found that the rust had opened up a dime sized hole. If this had let go unexpectedly I would have started blowing exhaust and water into my engine compartment. My "what would I have done" thoughts started rolling and I've decided that a tube of epoxy putty would have been my first effort at an emergency repair. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1aC6-4V8P3BufZhZsusYFmMlmHknk-Ftv
