exhaust heat exchanger

Post by eric.geiger »

can anyone tell me what the paste/cement looking junk is all over the heat exchanger on the 600 motor and its purpose?
also id like to know if i can purchase something similar to smother back on since a lot has flaked off and been blown off due to sandblasting all the exhaust parts to prep for a repaint.
Thank you

It serves two purposes.  First , insulation to keep the heat in the box and out of the engine compartment.  Second, sound deadening.  Try your local heating and air conditioning supply company for a similar material.  If you have a spare exchanger, take it with you to show them exactly what you are laking about.
