Fitting tips

1. Clean the gasket seat on both the engine side and the exhaust side.
2. Fit the new copper ring perfectly flat: it crushes when tightened and can't be reused.
3. Offer up the exhaust without forcing it, fit all the fasteners, then tighten progressively.
4. Warm the engine up, let it cool down and check the tightness again.
