Worst packings ever. That's why you don't see them much anymore. The heat causes them to shrink and then leakChuck.

 Jerry asked about the aluminum exhaust packings.  I have them on my 140 and
they seem to be fine.  I did coat them with hi-temp silicone before
installation and then re-torqued the nuts after a couple hundred miles, but
no complaints since.
