    Guess what I'm doing this weekend!

    Don't be jealous!




    My old M2 had leaky ones when I got it, everyone recommended James blue gaskets... and for some reason they did not want to seal. I checked my flanges, bought new DS flanges, bough S&S flanges, bought another set of James blue, used Hylomar, used grease, dish soap, dry. etc,, torqued to spec, torqued to hell,.... even tried a new manifold. The end result was DS flanges, stock seals, and a liberal amout of GMS. I had plans for XB heads for the bike in the near future, so I just wanted it to seal for the moment. Moving forward...

    That said, I'm sure this time around it won't be that tricky... but for you people who have done your seals... what is your preferred poison?

    I'll probably do James again with a light coating of Hylomar, unless XB's have a different formula for success.

    So... lets start a flame war! What seals do you like?

    I like the type of seals that don't leak.

    Wouldn't that be great, you could lay on the freezing cold ice, in the sun, and your pecker still worked ! I want those kind of seals.
