[Chrysler300] Heat Riser 300 g - reply

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

I would like to advise you to take a peek at the group of photos accessible 
thru the following link:
http://www.crossrams.com/van300f/seven.html  (and scroll down a couple of 
pictures).

There are many, many little bits and pieces that make up the heat riser 
mechanisms in the exhaust manifolds.

All of these little bits and pieces need to be present for the heat risers 
to operate as intended;  and, both heat risers do need to operate as 
intended in order for the chokes on the carbs to open more or less 
simultaneously. Very important on dual quad ram cars...

Not sure what the problem really is with "RG"  -  hard to tell from your 
description; however, a long piece of rubber or vinyl hose, with one end 
inserted in one's ear, and the other used as a "probe", is the best (and 
lo-buck) way I have found to really directly locate the source of any 
exhaust leaks with any degree of certainty.  Move the free end of the hose 
until you pinpoint EXACTLY  where the leak is.  Works for me everytime.

Sincerely
John Hertog
