Putting the finishing touches on cleaning everything up(What a MESS). Planning on replacing both gaskets and was wondering if any type of compounds are required for the EGR & T-Body gaskets. Also the exhaust tube at the rear of the assyembly was really tough to remove and was curious if anti-seize compound should be applied to the threads? Any other important tips are welcome.
Thank You in advance

 

I just put a thin layer of Permatex Gasket Sealer on both sides of the gasket and I'm good to go

 

I put anti-seize on anything I take off related to the exhaust. Though, sometimes it doesn't help when things have gone a few years through the mud...
And I agree with Red02 about the Permatex, though I'm partial to a different brand from an aircraft supplier.

 

Well... LA-DE-DA .... not all of us have access to an aircraft supplier ..
Where in DeBellaware are you?

 

lol, you do if you have the interwebs :P

(It's a funny name, and pricey, but Mouse Milk is the **** for removing exhaust bolts.)

I'm near Prices Corner.
