    Ballangers (gaskets)

    Mark I had a post about this problem with leaking Belangers about a week ago (April 18) you might want to look it up. The gaskets are sold at Pep Boys # NEA EX-5 replaces FEL-PRO 9547 for the 2 1/4" flanges. Get the version with the metal 0-ring I beleive it replaces the older version without...

    1.7 rockers?

    Just in case it matters, installing aftermarket rockers will void your warranty.

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Tom Welch: Brad, You or your installer probably overtightened the flanges at one point or another which has warped them. When they are shipped to you they have been machined to a perfectly flat surface...

    How do you Stop Belanger Headers from Leaking?

    Thanks a million Jerry! If these gaskets I just put in don't work I will try your method. I am really tired of tearing this thing apart.

    How do you Stop Belanger Headers from Leaking?

    John I didn't drop or bang the flanges on the install and I only tried the gaskets after the silicon wouldn't work. I certainly don't want to take the headers off in order to have them resurfaced (too much work) I am looking for a way to stop the leaks without all the hassle off removing the system.

    How do you Stop Belanger Headers from Leaking?

    The Belanger has a top half and a bottom half, they bolt together with 2- 2 1/4" flanges. Three of the cylinders reduce to one flange and two cylinders reduce to the other flange then the two flanges reduce again to the 3" collector. It is one of the 2 1/4" flanges that leaks, about 1" of the...

    How do you Stop Belanger Headers from Leaking?

    Found the gasket at Kragan and Pep Boys. I've bought the gasket from them with and without the metal ring. Maybe the metal ring gasket replaces the older non metal ring gasket. You have to ask for it from the parts counter NEA EX-5 replaces FEL-PRO 9547. These leaks drive me nuts with that...

    How do you Stop Belanger Headers from Leaking?

    Ever since I bought these Belanger Headers they develop an exhaust leak on one of the 2-bolt flanges that connects the bottom half to the top half. Every time I seal it up then drive for a couple of weeks it blows out again in the same place on both sides of the car. When I first installed the...

    First thoughts of ownership...

    To have better exhaust sound AND loose the drone buy Corsa Cat back exhaust. If the high pitch whine is not coming from your speakers (alternator whine)you might want to check the fuel pump.

    WHAT IS THE MAX ENGINE RPM ON A 2001? 56 HP PER LITER SEEMS VERY LOW...

    Dr. Speed, lots of great information Thanks. Regarding bore effect isn't this one of the main reasons newer engine designs are using twin spark plugs per cylinder? I believe the new Dodge Hemi will have twin plugs.

    WHAT IS THE MAX ENGINE RPM ON A 2001? 56 HP PER LITER SEEMS VERY LOW...

    Don't forget 1960's power ratings were Gross Rated, todays power ratings are Net Rated. Hp/liter of the 60's motors based on NET RATING of today would be much less.

    BELANGER VS CORSA??

    I have the Belanger Headers and Corsa 3". I started with high flow cats, idle sounded great and any amount of acceleration sounded race car like but ended up being louder than I wanted. I put the stock cats back on but opened up the ends to 3", to my ears sounds much better, still a great sound...

    VIPER DETAIL

    I noticed another product at the Good Guys car show at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in CA called Winners Choice. It was used on the show winning hot rod and had a great shine. It seems to be very similar to Zaino (which I currently use) an anti-static polymer product. I went to their booth for...

    Bob Lutz Gives"Thumbs Down" to the SRT/10!!!!!

    Re: Bob Lutz Gives\"Thumbs Down\" to the SRT/10!!!!! BOB LUTZ IS RIGHT! "They should have kept it looking like an outrageous high-performance sports car". The new SRT will be a great performer but for me performance must go along with a great look for a street legal car. I'm hopeful Dodge will...
