Re: [DML] Possible Exhaust Leak

[Warren Wallingford <warren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Exhaust leaks are common on Deloreans.  The culprit is almost always an 
exhaust manifold gasket or two, or three. Iron manifolds and aluminum 
heads expand at different rates.  This twists and tears at the gaskets 
around the exhaust ports and ruins them.  The comprehensive fix is to 
replace the gaskets by removing the exhaust system, muffler, crossover 
pipe, manifolds and all. Replace the gaskets and studs that broke, then 
re-assemble.  Easy say, hard do.
We sell a kit with all the stuff. Here it is:
