I have a little leak where the elbow bolts onto the manifold. Looks like it could benefit from a gasket in there. Book shows none. Anyone have a similar problem? Any idea if a standard, flat gasket will fit? I'd think it would have to be pretty heat resistant. Perhaps I'll stop by the muffler shop?

I sealed mine by putting a piece of exhaust pipe into the manifold and the ellbow slides over the pipe. The previous owner had remove the upright support and broke part of the manifold. After installing I carefully brazed the manifold back together and sealed with high heat epoxy.

I had good luck sealing mine with muffler and exhaust mender. Put on a fairly heave bead and bolt it together and wipe off the excess. Let it cure for a couple hours then start the engine and idle for a couple minutes to bake it then shut off the engine and let it set for a day... Gene

Hello F-I-T. I had same problem when I broke the elbow off. I bought a new elbow from Central Tractor, and just went to AMEB(my work) for a gasket, around $2.15, nothing fancy. I farm and I work at an auto exhaust shop, and I recomend the ones with a metal ring in the center hole.

Thanks, Jim. I have an extra elbow, and I think I will stop by my NAPA tomorrow with it and see what they have. Couldn't hurt.

When I broke my elbow, I also chipped out the manifold. I bought a gasket that fit the bigger hole(elbow or manifold) and ground the other to the same size, and got about 3 more hp from it. I also had the head and intake pollished, and when I rebiuld the engine, got about 35hp out of it. If you put in 3 7/16" pistons and a G148 cam, both avalible new for the 124ci VA engine from Central Tractor. Now he runs my 22x36 thesher with out any problems.
