02 800 RMK leaking oil around Exhasut gasket

[fatandlow54]

had to explace exhaust valve bellows last year and swapped out the gaskets now when i go to fire it up it is leaking again around the center of the gasket

any ideas? was thinking of adding a second gasket to see if that will help

take off the base and put a flat piece of steel on it and the bellows holder and see if there is a low spot on either one have changed mine 5 times no problem make sure you torque the bolts even

do you know what the correct torgue is? is i remember is it in inch pounds i want to say 12

 

[papajake]

12 foot lbs and add a drop of BLUE thread lock on the bolts

i was wondering seeing that both are doing it is there a chance that i put them on upside down? meaning the base has a low spot that lines up with the low spot on the other part?
going to order the gaskets today and get the sled inside so i can start to take it apart
