"Jeff, I got lucky with this mechanic, found him through a marine surveyer. He's a one man operation, works out of his truck, low overhead. He can and will do almost anything. No charge for travel time or any other extras.
The main reason I use him for the exhaust work is those studs, (plus my back ain't what it used to be). There is always one or more studs that is a bitch to get out and the job is much easier if you can get them out first. Once that's done, the riser and elbow can come off as a unit.
I use Permatex #2 on the gaskets. No paint on the mating surfaces."
