 |
|
On my Jabiru 2200 (SN 988) a couple of the screws holding the exhaust pipe have not moved when trying to tighten them. Could they be frozen in the head? When the factory assembles the exhaust and intake pipes do they use anti-seize compound? I sure would hate to twist a screw off while trying to loosen them to check the gaskets.

Hi Chuck,
Sorry for the delayed reply. Those cap-screws do stick pretty-well from the constant heat/cool cycles so yes, it might be a good idea to loosen and then retighten them to ensure they are keeping the joint tight. I know they are tricky to access, but a loose or below-torque joint will soon blow the gasket. Using anti-seize can help too.
