Guest turtle Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I have a 2004 lemans and the front crossover has become loose . Upon inspection I found that the carbon sleeve inside has taken a set and the pipe can not be tightened enough to compensate. Does anyone know of a source for this strange gasket or some replacement? Is this a common problem? Thanks so much, Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 The "flappin front crossover" seems to be a common(although not ubiquitous) problem, but I haven't heard of a fix from anyone yet Although I don't have a late model LeMans with the front cross-over in front of the alternator, I'd like to find out as well if others have found a lasting solution for this. Keep an eye on it though, as at least one person reported the front cross-over, when loose, swung back and forth... banged against the alternator cover and damaged it al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete roper Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Shim-stock! Wonderful stuff. Very thin sheet steel, often sold as 'Shim in a Can', (I kid you not!). Cut to required size, coat in gorilla snot, wrap around offending pipe, slip *bigger* pipe over, clamp up tight, wipe/scrape off excess gorilla snot, ride off into sunset!!!! I've done this before!

badmotogoozer Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I don't have a gorilla. Will dog snot work? Plenty of that... Rj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
