Carbon Akrap questions

[sigtrm]

Just got my package, did a quick look and I can't see copper paste tube anywhere, should it be included in pkg? From installation manual I assume there should be one inside.


Also how do you take off dbkiller, I can see some bolt inside and some rubber cap outside, should I pull the rubber cup with some more force?

It didn't come with any paste.

Take out the rubber bung. Remove the small screw underneath. I used the end of a broom handle - shove it in from behind (mmmm), a gentle tap on the end of it and the baffles fall out.

Shove it from behind, you mean from engine side ?


Also did you use copper paste? Is it the same as copper grease?

Yes, from the engine side rather than the carbon bit of the can. Copper paste was useful to hold in the gaskets/seals.

Did you use new gaskets ?

No, old ones were fine.
