I must have been sleeping under a rock for the last 20 years. Is that why they call me rip-van-winkle.
Thanks Carl, I like to learn one new thing every day. This is the ONE for today.
I guess it would not work that well where the exhaust pipe meets the cyl head, but ok where the silencers attach.
Cheers
Don

There's an incredible amount heat closer to the head, at least 800°c, but I have got away with using it around there to help seal things up.
