I just replaced the seal that fits on the "toilet bowl". It now leaks constantly during idle. Before it would only seep a bit when revved.

I used new clips too. Is this normal? Seems to me like something isn't right.

Thanks, Matt

it may need time to get broken in and seal itself, i put a new one in mine and it worked great. give it some time maybe?

I have used one of those seals. It did not look like the old one. The new one looked like a round hunk of lead with wire mesh all through it. Sealed worth ***. I figured that it had to get nice and hot to help it "seat" in. I ran it hard and hot. It sounded much better the next day.

"Ultra Copper" on the Manifold to Head Gaskets?

Well, it has been nearly a week since I replaced the seal and clips and it leaks just as much. Way more than before. I can see a cloud in front of the headlights when warming up at idle

Any suggestions? Should I replace the seal or just take it off and put some more sealant on it?

I almost passed out on the way to school this morning because of the fumes!

(just joking) :lol:
