<VV> Disappearing Exhaust Packings

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

John,
 
They were Clark's graphite which I prefer to asbestos as it isn't a  
carcinogen. After the first set "went away" I used a beveled grinder wheel to  
thoroughly clean both the manifold to exhaust mating surface and the stack to  
manifold surfaces on the manifold and installed replacement graphite  
packings.  I meant to ask this in 2011.  So far no leaks.

What  type of packings are you using.  If you have the graphite ones that  
Clark's sell then yes as they turn to mush quickly.
I only put the  older style ones on my engines.
