New exhaust installed

[bvictory_imp]

I am definitely going to get the pipes mildly hot before I tighten the header. I also read some other articles about cleaning the exhaust ports with a copper/brass brush and white vinegar to clean up the mating surfaces. I mounted an exhaust on a 1982 Kawasaki 440 LTD years ago and it seemed so simple, I should have done mire research before I started this one. I have been doing car and motorcycle maintenance for over 30 years and I can usually figure out stuff on the fly. This was not the case here. So, I have learned a lesson even in my 50’s.
