Don’t use fire gum, it drys, shrinks and falls/blows out. Use silicon sealer or RTV, it will with the heat and remain flexible.

Well done with this job Isaac, just on a side note if you continue to struggle to get the up pipe to seal well in the future they do make stainless up pipes with a flexi in them which might help

Would a surface grinder be a better option ? Clamping force required being considerably less , and more progressive removal of metal .

Wicked Issac. Job well done

That file looks like a right bastard! (Only engineers and fitters will understand)

Proper job

All torque 😊 and plenty of action 👍. Bob M.

Well done with the flattening , if it is stainless 316 won’t pull a magnet , 308/ 304 will have slight pull ,

😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍

Well done Isaac, brings back memories of the early 70s, bolting cars back together at midnight so I could drive to work for 8am the following day.!

Well done Isaac

Glad you went tighter, but not the 50 ft/lbs originally stated.. was wondering if that was how flanges became banana shaped ? The flat filing is slow going, but it's also the sure way to level the flanges properly.

Nice work Issac not a lot of people can be bothered trying to use a file these days, remember chalk is your friend for clogging, liked how the seagulls kept you company or maybe they were laughing at a pretty bad exhaust/header design

Where’s your axle stands?

Great job.

Young man removes exhaust, files it and replaces it. Lots of mature men watch and comment.

Please get John on the channel more!🙏🙏fact viewership needs it!!.

Ask your mates in the MOT place to check your gases. If there is still a blow it will show as a high oxygen (O2) content. Good work Isaac.

John is awesome ❤😎old school the best !!!.. Fact not figure!!. Dave from nz 🇳🇿

Don't rely on Firegum. It's useless. You must get the surfaces right.

Hi Issac, just a little tip, rub chalk into the file, helps stop the file filling with filings . Good job 👍

You are a lucky young man stick with it you will get there cheers Ian 🍻

Well done Isaac, It's great to be able to use the kit at work in the evenings. A very long time ago, I used the Xmas shutdown where I worked to strip and weld up a VW beetle...so much easier... Cordialement,

Well the three sets of gaskets is the lesson. Fortunatly you have all the kit you need to sort it. The sense of satisfaction in getting it right is worth the hassle. Also your now an expert in scoobie exhausts.

The only thing I would suggest would be retorque after getting to operating temp. Not sure if it would help with any distortion? Great work on your part non the less.

Good to see the basics being used, filing a surface flat is sometimes the only way. A good example of using blue to guide the finish too.

Nice job Sir. The torque on them exhaust flange bolts needs to be F.T.

Excellent job Issac. Your'e going great guns. Cheers.

Excellent video Issac very informative.Glad it's sorted.👍👍

Hopefully you don't have to do this again but, if you do, you might want to look into using a surface plate & engineering scrapers. One of my first real jobs in apprentice training was scraping flat a rectangular flange face. The surface place with engineers blue applied gives you a better understanding of the surface topography. Good work with a hand file though

Hi, good video, you are improving with them. Did not see any Jack stands under the car, just the hydraulic Jack which is a big no no especially working on your own.

Issac as an old school mobile mechanic, with no chance of getting exhaust manifolds off and putting a file over it. The "hot" pipe flange, if you can't get it filed flat try using two gaskets together with fire gum between the three surfaces. That will give you a fighting chance of at least getting a seal on it. It will work because the gaskets will give when there are two of them and help to seal it.

Credit to you for doing it right ❤

Nice job. A buddy started his apprenticeship in an engineering shop. On his first day, his supervisor showed him to his work bench and gave him a set of files. His job for the next few months was to file of the projects for the other guys in the workshop!

You should have taken the header pipes of at home then you could have taken you time and not rushed the job your boss should have been there with you give you some support but i worked him out when i started watching his channel he's full of shit

Back to the prehistoric cave😅😅😅

Take my advise that I posted previously then you will find the manifold leak in about 2 minutes, Iv'e sealed worse.

You need a set of ramps for the shop, the plastic ones that stack have been pretty good to me for a few years.

Well done Isaac, I remember long hours of filing a load of flanges we had lasercut by an outside company, we got them waterjet cut after that experience..

Curious on what brand of file you used. I've used PFERD files for years but don't really know if they are any better than other brands. I remember as a young, budding machinist being given the assignment to flatten some scrap steel (or was it cast iron?) to under 1 thousandth of an inch. Just as you stated, keeping the file clean kept it sharp. I passed but barely!

Isaac, Working late on your dream car will make it all worth the effort when she runs just the way you dreamed she would. Yeah, you look pretty beat, as we say in the states. Get home, get cleaned up, and dream the good dreams. Well done young man. You are building the bones of a strong leader. Alan from NC, USA

good job there, the hole spacing seems very far apart for the flange material thickness if it continues to give problems maybe you could consider getting some thicker flanges made up and have them tig welded on it would be a bit of work but it might be the answer .

I bet the workshop was full of moths & midges with the doors open & them lights on. 😂

Well done Isaac 👍, I admire your commitment and attitude in overcoming difficulties. Don’t let people divert and discourage you. Looking forward to seeing more of your content 🤩. Bob M. South Wales

Don't think you could file it if it was stainless.
