banshdog Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 The PC pipes on my bike dont seem to seat very well on the engine. The gap looks larger than my brothers FMF's. this is causing oil to be spit out, and drip down. im running 50:1 mixture. has anyone else had this problem? can i get gaskets or something to stop all the oil from makin a freakin mess?

sandman121383 Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 i had a set of PC's and they fit nice for me....hard to wiggle on at 1st but what pipe isn't? i'd say try and pull them on a little better . . . mount the pipes 1st then put the silencers on last. i fabbed some little "L" brackets for pc silencers when i had them to help them fit better. i made sure my pipes were all the way on the motor before i worried about how anything else fit. hope this helps Quote
banshdog Posted March 29, 2004 Author Report Posted March 29, 2004 they are the PC Platinum pipes. I am gonna loosen up the bolts and see if i can get them to snug up a lil better. I did put the pipes on first, they were a pain in the a$$. Quote
BansheeBrian Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 You should have rubber O-rings that are on the inside of the pipes on the exhaust end so you dont get that oil everywhere.You can rip them off your ol'stockers. Quote
FoxBansheeRacing Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Will any o-ring work?? I have the same problem even with the o-rings. I have a kit of o-rings, will one of those work or will it just melt? Quote
BansheeBrian Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 That I'm not sure.Things don't get that hot on a shee.I believe a standard o-ring will do.The o-ring in the exhaust is a fat one.The pipe should go on snug.There should be some friction when it goes on.It should not feel loose. Quote
banshdog Posted March 30, 2004 Author Report Posted March 30, 2004 i checked out my stocks last night, but there is no o-ring in them. is there supposed to be? anyways i took the exhaust off and realigned it. it turns out that i had to drill new holes in the front brackets. this moved the pipes up and back against the engine. there is still a tiny gap between the pipes and the engine, but it is better than it was. we will see how messy it gets this weekend.
