I get a ticking sound when riding, pretty sure it's coming from the exhaust headers as that's where the sound seems to come from. If i get myself some of that high temperature sealant 1200c apparently this sealant is. Take the headers off and put a layer on each header as i have two exhaust pipes would it stop any of the leaking going on?

If its applied properly it will stop the leaks,, usually down pipes are sealed with copper o-rings so check these arent crushed flat first and replace if neccessary

Instead of bodging it, replace the gaskets. Thumbs Up

Advice against bodging impetuously ignored..


Awaits new thread....

Hi folks, I've just bodged a leak from my exhaust headers and have found the resultant escaping exhaust gas has cut a groove into the cylinder head.

How do I bodge that sort of self inflicted injury?
