<VV> Exhaust Donuts

[John Sweet]

Bill,
I would return the graphite ones to Clark's as they are no good.  The 
graphite will turn to mush very quickly and you will have exhaust leaks 
which you don't want in the winter when using the heater.  I still have a 
good supply of the good donuts that are hard and will seal very well.  I 
sell them for $20 a set of 8.

Hi all...as cooler weather arrives, I now have to replace the lower shrouds 
on my Monza as well as replace the 4" heater hoses so I have heat for the 
winter.
While the shrouds are still off, I thought it might be a good time to 
replace the 6 exhaust manifold donuts as well to ensure the heater is as 
safe as possible. I ordered new ones from Clarks; they are of graphite but 
the surfaces are scratched and not perfectly smooth. I am wondering whether 
they should be lightly sanded or smoothed out? Also, can I apply some 
Permatex Ultra Copper to the flanges on both sides (manifold and stacks) to 
ensure a good seal?
Thanks for your advice on the subject in advance!...Bill Hershkowitz 66
