My water lift muffler connects directly onto the exhaust flange. Every 180 degrees of rotation of the flange onto the muffler lines it up with the manifold holes. I think I have to go to the next 180 degree point as I'm getting some exhaust fumes in the engine compartment.
I'm wondering how much force I can apply while rotating this flange before I create a problem?
I have a brand new Moyer flange and have cleaned up but not recut the tapered threads on the muffler. I'm imagining that these tapered threads will lock up pretty hard at some point. If that's not when the muffler is in the right location, I'll have to back it off. Then I figure I'll get a leak around the threads.
Should I be using any sealant on the tapered threads?
