Just replaced a bad pair of front intermediate exhaust pipes on the
TR6. Decided while I was at it to replace the main down pipe assembly
from the exhaust manifold, too. The old one wasn't leaking, but this is
a job you only want to do once, right?
Everything's back together, fired the car, and have a major leak at the
flange between the down pipe and manifold. Installed new gasket
(oops...flange packing, per the brits), and tightened all bolts, etc.
Thought I did everything right. What's the trick - what did I miss??
