[QUOTE="TM-Frank, post: 581194, member: 20961"] Yes, that is a bit delicate :) You should make sure that you don't point at other people, your dog or anything that might be expensive. If you use some kind of squeeze plugs make sure that you remove coal and oil residue from the inside of the pipe's end before installing the plug. Additional safety wiring is a good idea, too! You can make a safety-catch-line out of stell cable (old clutch cable or so) and a good hose clamp. Attach one end of the cable to your plug and the other to the pipe. That is unlikely when you use a propane torch but can easily happen when you use a acetylen/oxygen setup. The propane torch isn't hot enough to melt the steel. But it is surely recommendable not to place yourself directly in front of the heated area. Japanese stock pipes should be handled with special care! The welding seams are often so ratty that they can crack! So use lesser pressure with these pipes. MESSICO, SPES, HGS (and propably most other aftermarket pipes) can put away really high pressure.
