Can i use copper rtv or something to keep the slip fit primary from leaking?

 

a 1 3/4" t bar clamp from summit will work, i doubt any RTV could withstand the heat.....

mine doesnt leak at all with just the t bar clamp

only $6.95

think autozone or oreilley(sp?) might have something?

 

i doubt it.....

 

RTV won't withstand the heat.

 

where else can i get a clamp locally? lowes or home depot maybe?

 

Weld It

yeah but then can i still get it in with the motor in the car?

 

Do you even have problems with leakage? I dont use anything and my slip in primary doesnt leak at all.

 

it is loose, im pretty sure it is going to leak

 

Ultra Copper RTV would withstand it, had that on my MACs, stayed there for awhile, good up to like 1200*, headers wont see near that.

Anyway, how does a clamp do anything since it is solid tube? I could see if it had a slit like most slip fits. Or did you cut a small slit in it?

 

no i did not cut my JET HOT headers
i just put the clamp on....
some ppl have problems with it leaking, some dont, i didnt want to take a chance, so i put the clamp on there.

Does the Hooker LT have a slip fit primary too or just the Jet Hot LTs?


Thx,

They both do to help go around the steering linkage. Mine Hooker slip fit doesnt leak at all, I did put a dab of super copper, but then I had to take the headers back out to do something before I finished installing them and it made it a pain in the *** to take it out, so I cleaned it off with brake parts cleaner.

 

I'm putting my Jet Hots on right now, I couldn't get the slip fit in far enough so I touched it up with some 220 grit, now it seems way too damn loose. :livid:

Anyone have a pic of this clamp I need?!?
