Author Message   Bigo Posted on Monday, November 12, 2007 - 12:51 pm:        hello everyone! I am about to change the front cylinder exhaust port gasket on my 99 S3. Is that a large 'C' clip that I bought? I assume it needs to be put over the pipe past the bulge so that the flange can press the pipe into the gasket when tightened. Is that correct? It seems like a silly question maybe. It is kind of a poor design if you ask me. The original "clip" came out in two pieces, obviously broken. if anyone has changed his gasket and can tell me for sure it will be appreciated. Thank you...   Radon30 Posted on Monday, November 12, 2007 - 02:03 pm:        You are correct, the ring fits loose on the pipe and the exhaust flange pushes on the ring.   Bigo Posted on Monday, November 12, 2007 - 02:35 pm:        Yeah, that was it. I got it on. Thanks Radon30 for confirming that! BWB is cool.   Bad_karma Posted on Thursday, November 15, 2007 - 03:20 am:        Roger If I remember correctly the collars has a relief cut into one side to keep the ring expanding during fitment. joe
