Pipe Leak At Header

[dafuzz89]

I just installed a MX BONZ 5mm exhaust spacer, pro circuit exhaust flange and a works pipe. I rode last week while on vacation and noticed the pipe is not sealing tight and blowing goo past the flange onto the jug. Besides new springs is there another trick to remedy this problem? :clue:

Any O rings with that set up? RTV the hell out of it if everything else fails. How's your jetting?

still messing with the jetting but I would think it shouldnt have that much blow by.No O rings but was thinking on using the exhaust sealant I use on my sleds.

What tool/technique do you use to unhook and rehook the springs that hold the pipe on? They are very tight and I don't know how to release them and even if I could, I am afraid I'd never get them back on.
Thanks

I use side cutters or needle nose plyers. If you use side cutters, dont squeeze too tight, I would imagine they are pretty hard to cut, Ive never cut one before, but they might break or snap if they are cut partially through. You can also buy exhaust spring pullers, but they are not really needed.
