 ===== Gaskets =====
+The Exhaust Port Gasket is a crushable gasket intended to seal the opening between the head exhaust port and the exhaust pipes. It is installed into the exhaust port and the pipe is then aligned. Tighten the exhaust pipe flange nuts in alternating steps so that the pipe draws to the head evenly.
+There are a number of XLForum threads regarding installing the Exhaust Port Gaskets.

+Some Comments:
+"The Factory seals are a total Nightmare ! I have been struggling with this for months. The Standard seals are IMPOSSIBLE to get into the head, And the Manual says to put them on the pipe first." (It is better to install in the heads rather than on the pipe.
+"I changed to the SE seals and there is not much material in them compared to the stockers."
+"I used copper crush gaskets, they are difficult to line up but once good they seal tight."
