Rich, Thank you for your advise. I'm planning on pulling the manifolds for inspection one at a time for resealing or replacement as required. I have one off already and it looks good, no internal leakage. I'll refinish the sealing surfaces and reinstall it with Hi-temp RTV silicone and new gaskets. Thanks, Dan

You are supposed to replace risers every ten years or so if used in salt water and a little longer if used in freshwater. When I took mine off and checked them over they were just about to ruin my engine. If they rust through they will cause engine failure. rich On Aug 24, 10:10 am, Dan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a 34" Sedan with 270 Crusaders and Barr exhaust manifolds and > risers.
