All,

I hope someone on the list has the solution to Bob's question  
regarding securing and sealing the the downpipes to exhaust manifold  
connection.  Its is odd that I never had a problem until the last time  
I installed a new pair of mufflers and downpipes on my BJ8.  I am  
using brass nuts and lock washers on the studs.  About once every six  
months I have to put the car up on jack stands and tighten the nuts.   
I have dropped the downpipes and replace the gaskets but to no avail.   
The things still loosen with time.  I just listen for the psst,  
psst,psst and then get out the jack stands and ratchet wrench.
