Re: shift cable headaches

I used the high temp RTV plus copper on my header flanges. No gaskets. No leaks. You must let it dry 24 hours though.

Subject: shift cable headaches




I'm having two headaches in getting the S.F. back on the road.  The 
shift cable adjustment and header bolt coolant leaks.  I can recite the 
cable adjustment procedure in my sleep and I have fudged it a hole or 
three each way from the initial setting with no luck.  I'm really 
resisting dropping the pan.  Tomorrow I'll get my lovely assistant to 
help me and I'm going to start from scratch.
I took your advice Don, and got some hi-temp RTV plus copper.  And I've 
gotten a couple sealed but the one I did tonite immediately started 
leaking.  Should I let it sit overnite perhaps before I start the 
engine?  
I took it on a short shakedown cruise and the improvement is dramatic. 
It feels really strong.
It is basically an "Old Reliable" build except for the cam as I kept the 
Isky I was running previously.
