Re: Dumb dumb and now stinky.....help
Not much you can do until it burns off :-\ Also, why not just take some ultra-copper rtv and silicone the bitch? I've used that on all of my headers, and never had any problems with them leaking at all.

Re: Dumb dumb and now stinky.....help
not much you can do. it might help to leave it idling at like 2.5k for a while, that helped me burn off numerous oil spills off my headers. if its that horribly bad you could probably wrap a rubber band or string around the TB and leave it idling at 2.5k while you go jerk off or something. it also helps to leave the hood open so the fumes can leave
also, for next time and anyone else who may need, thing peices of scrap aluminum work pretty well as exhaust gaskets :y :8 |
