SignUp Now!Dont grease the puck. The exhaust heat will turn the grease into carbon...just the thing you're trying to get rid of. I used grease as a header gasket. Works great. You need to pull the downpipe off and look at the mark the puck has made on the hole. It should be obvious by looking at the mark, whether or not its sealing all the way around. Just scrape off whatever carbon is around it. Dont use sandpaper or grease or anything. It needs to be metal on metal. If the puck has no carbon buildup but has not made a complete circular mark around the hole, there may be an angular problem...when the puck closes, the puck is not seating at the same angle as the hole. Dont know what you can do for that, but it could be from the puck becoming loose either from a worn out bushing, or the puck is not secured tightly to the shaft. Maybe the puck is not concentric with the hole (hole perfectly centered within another hole). It will take you less time to pull the downpipe back and take a look at things than it will to keep thinking about it and posting, so get out there and look at it!mcponch said:still at 19/20# got the b.l.m.s fixed. when i ajust the rod for max boost. i have to pull like hell to hook it up. to see if it is sealing all the way. greese the puck yes?? any other segestions. thanks all. frank. p.s. i had an te-54 turbo on my car. the guy i sold it to is running 24++ POUNDS BOOST.
